Does the cheese from the Spertental valley have holes or not? Find out for yourself on this cycle tour, preferably together with your children.
Moderately difficult cycle tour into the Spertental nature reserve south of Kirchberg in Tirol. No particular technical challenges, but children should be in good physical condition. In Kirchberg, initially on a paved main road, then switch to a cycle and hiking trail along the Ache river, later back on asphalt. Only a slight incline at first. A Kneipp facility in Aschau provides relaxation, the large playground is fun for children. The gradient increases slightly in Unterer Grund. Pass a waterfall on the way to the Kasplatzl cheese dairy, then after a short steep climb to the Labalm. The last section to the Karalm (unmanaged) at the end of the valley has a good gravel path.
This bike tour is possible with a mountain bike, gravel bike, or road bike; for the latter, it is recommended to take the paved main road as far as Aschau. The tour starts in Kirchberg, from where we ride along the valley cycle path to Aschau. Following the Aschauer Ache, this is an ideal tour, especially on hot summer days. Once in Aschau, we ride past the Kneipp facility into the Unterer Grund. With a moderate incline, we pass the waterfall with its suspension bridge, and soon the Spertenal protected landscape area opens up before us. Continuing uphill, we pass the Kasplatz show dairy, from where the road climbs a bit more steeply until we reach our destination, the Labalm. In the shadow of the Großer Rettenstein, it is a great place to linger and recharge with wonderful regional dishes during a stop. The way back is the reward for a slightly strenuous tour, as the route leads steadily downhill back to the starting point in Kirchberg.
