This subset represents 41% of the 365 quality-checked routes in Austria. Its average distance is 9.0 km, compared with 33.2 km across the full local set. Average recorded ascent is 122 m (400 ft), versus 346 m (1,135 ft) for all quality-checked routes in the same area.

Ratings are computed from available distance and elevation data and do not establish current terrain or access.
