Edelsbach bei Graz: Plan Cycling Trips and Excursions

Edelsbach bei Graz can be explored particularly well for your travel planning through cycling and excursion experiences. The Chapels Tour 735 leads through Edelsbach and Eggersdorf bei Graz and combines a signposted route for e-bikes and trekking bikes with cultural points of interest along the way. In addition, the 6 km Eggersdorf Planet Trail, regular guided tours and the natural swimming pool in Eggersdorf offer various options for days when the schedule includes more than just a cycling tour. When looking for accommodation, you can therefore first decide whether the tour, an excursion to Eggersdorf or a combination of both should shape your trip.

Cycling past chapels and trail stations

The Chapels Tour 735 is signposted throughout and passes 11 chapels. The signs also point out culinary offerings and direct marketers along the route. For breaks in nature, there are well-maintained rest and picnic areas along the tour. This gives you several specific reference points for planning your day: you can view the route as a cycle touring trail for e-bikes and trekking bikes, plan breaks and combine the cultural stations with the information provided along the way.

As an individual point along the route, the Grubbauer Cross on Edelsbachstraße is listed as trail station 36.

Getting to and starting the Chapels Tour

In Eggersdorf bei Graz, the GUSTmobil stop Edelsbachstraße/Sonnleiten is listed. The Chapels Tour 735 is also connected via the Graz Umrundung Ost S-Bahn route at Laßnitzhöhe. The starting point at Höf is 3 km and 72 metres of elevation gain from Laßnitzhöhe railway station. If you are considering this starting point, you can include the distance and elevation gain in your day planning.

Planet Trail and natural swimming pool in Eggersdorf

The Eggersdorf Planet Trail is 6 km long, designated as an educational trail and an excursion destination for all generations. Guided tours are offered regularly on the Planet Trail. This makes it an independent option for a travel group in which not everyone has the same interests or the same daily schedule. Another option is the natural swimming pool in Eggersdorf. Swimming there is offered in water without chemical additives. Both destinations can therefore be considered as separate points for a day alongside the Chapels Tour.

Cultural stations with a time-specific reference

The Erhart Chapel is also one of the mentioned points of reference: At the 2026 Easter Food Blessings, it is listed as a station at 1:30 p.m. This information refers to the programme of the 2026 Easter Food Blessings and should therefore be understood as a time-specific event notice. For general travel planning, the Chapels Tour, the Planet Trail and the natural swimming pool remain the more broadly usable reference points.

Choose accommodation based on your preferred daily schedule

If you are looking for accommodation in Edelsbach bei Graz, you can base your choice on the planned combination of cycling and excursions. Those who make the Chapels Tour the focus should take the desired starting point and their own daily route into account. Those who want to combine different activities can also include Eggersdorf, with its Planet Trail and natural swimming pool, in their planning. The available route, transport and excursion information provides concrete thematic guidance without anticipating the features of individual accommodations.
