The cycling tour starts at the main square in Auer and follows Hilbweg to St. Peterweg. The cycle route then turns left onto Palainweg, passing through green apple orchards to a small bridge. After crossing the bridge, continue left to the Adige bridge. Cross it as well and follow the road for about 200 metres. At the junction for Gmund/Klughammer, turn right and continue along the road.
