CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
337 km from Linz to Linz, about 4 h 58 of riding. It goes by way of Kalkalpen - Wilder Graben, Ybbs - Kleinkastell and back through Kalkalpen - Wilder Graben. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 1,100 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available. The line favours views over speed.
Linz sits on the Danube about halfway between Vienna and Passau, and its history goes back to the Romans, who built a fort here called Lentia. The site of the Roman settlement lies under the old town, near the castle and the main square, and the remains of the civilian settlement spread to the surrounding districts. Martinsfeld, where this stop is placed, lies close to the centre, and the old church of St Martin nearby is one of the oldest surviving churches in Austria, with parts of its walls dating back more than a thousand years.

Linz - Siedlung Martinsfeld is where the day begins. Next is Kalkalpen - Wilder Graben.
Wilder Graben translates as the wild ravine, and the name fits the country south of the Enns valley in Upper Austria, where the Kalkalpen National Park protects a great tangle of limestone mountains, gorges and forest. This is the Reichraminger Hintergebirge, a maze of steep valleys with clear green streams at the bottom and almost no settlements at all. It is one of the largest forested areas in Austria, and parts of its old beech woods belong to the World Heritage site of ancient beech forests across Europe.

Kalkalpen - Wilder Graben comes up about 72 km into the recorded legs. Next is Ybbs - Kleinkastell.
Ybbs an der Donau and Persenbeug face each other across the Danube in Lower Austria, connected by a hydroelectric dam that was one of the first built on the Austrian Danube after the war. Persenbeug is dominated by its castle, perched on a rock above the river, which belonged to the Habsburgs and was the birthplace of Emperor Charles I, the last emperor of Austria-Hungary. On the Ybbs side, the remains of a small Roman fort have been found, part of the Danube frontier of the Roman Empire.
