Bicycle Ride Oberwart - Goetzendorf 13.10. + 20.10.2008
Driving to Oberwart I frequently park my car in Goetzendorf and take the bicycle for the rest. Goetzendorf is situated near Pinkafeld at an altitude of about 700 m, so I have to tackle about 400 m of ascent from Oberwart.
13. 10. - I chose a route somewhat different from the usual one taken on 29.9.2008: In Oberschuetzen I branch off to the Sixtina well and from there I ride to Wiesfleck. Further on to Schreibersdorf. Nice appetizers near the road ...
Now the steep ascent to Schoenherrn - view back.
Coloured trees ...
... in every direction.
Schoenherrn
Coloured trees ...
... but still some flowers: wild chamomille.
Already above Schoenherrn, view to Schmiedrait.
A corn field, nearly cropped.
Only one row left. When passing by regularly I observed the field getting narrower - the farmer seems to have taken only a small bit every day to feed his animals.
Goetzendorf, situated on a hill. This is my goal for today.
20.10.2008: In the morning I start before dawn.
In the afternoon I once more chose a differnt route. This time I ride the bicycle track from Oberwart to Riedlingsdorf and further on to the Sixtina well and to Wiesfleck. Now I take the very steep ascent to Sparberegg (740 m). On the way behind Wiesfleck a geese farm.
Viewing the landscape.
The last part of the ascent lis leading extremely steep up through dense forest. A few sunny spots enlighten the scenery.
Beech leaves
Shortly before Sparberegg. A stunning view around from here: Hochwechsel in western direction ...
... Oberschuetzen southwards
... and Schoenherrn in the east.
Soon the sun will set behind Masenberg.
