The 316.9-mile loop begins and ends in Austin, and includes cutoff routing in case your tour is only for a long weekend. The route begins in downtown Austin where there are many options for detours off the route. Some that you will be close to include the state capitol, Barton Springs, a local swimming hole, and Lady Bird Lake. You will encounter a network of mostly narrow, rural 2-lane county and state roads. Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas with daily music venues, is a huge tourism draw and you’ll be riding right past it. Get ready for a lot of ups and downs, scenic roads and less traffic. Fredericksburg is one of the most popular destinations in the hill country. If your time in Texas is limited and you need to shorten your trip, you can take the 72.9-mile Pedernales Cutoff between Fredericksburg and Austin.
