Meissner Haus - MTB route (503)
A scenic tour for anyone who loves quiet tributary valleys.
This tour to the Meissner Haus alpine guesthouse starts in the village of Ellbögen and leads south of Patscherkofel, Innsbruck's local mountain, to the quiet and picturesque Viggar Valley. From the Zirbenhof on Oberstraße road in Ellbögen, the route climbs quickly around two hairpin bends and then levels out a little to continue gently uphill through the forest on the northern slopes of the Mühltal mountain in the Viggar Valley to the beautifully-located Meissner Haus alpine guesthouse. Bike & hike: after taking a break and replenishing your energy levels at the Meissner Haus, you can continue on foot up the mountains Patscherkofel, Glungezer (the Glungezerhütte mountain hut at the top serves food and has accommodation), Morgenkogel or Kreuzspitze.
Highlights:
The stream to the left of the road to Meissner Haus offers a refreshing cool-down on hot summer days.
