Description

From Reith im Alpbachtal to Brixlegg, after the roundabout immediately turn left, follow the road and cross the Montanwerksbrücke to Kramsach, district Hagau. Continue right on the state road and after the roundabout turn left and follow the signs to the Sonnwendjoch cable car.

At the former Sonnwendjoch cable car, turn left next to the valley station onto mountain bike route no. 357. Now it goes partly quite steep uphill, first to the "Kaltwasserl", the "Hergottstein" up to the junction with mountain bike route no. 332. Turn right here and head towards the already visible Bayreuther Hütte.

Return rides lead us back to the well-known intersection (Weiderost), then straight ahead on route no. 332 downhill in many switchbacks towards Grünsbach (district of Münster). At the bus stop in Grünsbach turn left and follow the route to Kramsach/roundabout.

From here, go back to the starting point via the familiar route.
