Description
After starting in Waidhofen an der Ybbs, the route initially goes always upstream along the Ybbs, without significant climbs.
From Klein-Hollenstein begins the pleasant climb up the "Saurüssel". A few curves, always in the loose single-digit percent range (or alternatively and somewhat steeper the "old Saurüssel road" -> here turn left right at the start of the climb (small bridge) and follow the climb, the road later merges into the original descent) before the descent follows up to shortly before Weyer.
Here we turn very sharply right (almost a U-turn) in a long left curve (at the road maintenance yard) and ride towards Breitenau. The climb is briefly very steep, but soon levels off and finally leads in short ramps to the highest point - a small high plateau. We quickly descend further to Gaflenz where we meet the B121 again and cycle back to Waidhofen via Oberland.
