Trail description
This ride begins in the small village of Landl in the municipality of Thiersee and leads along the main road (Tiroler Straße) for about 4.4 kilometres with 150 vertical metres of altitude gain. After crossing the German border, the route leaves the main road and leads along a narrow and winding forest path, first parallel to the road and then heading west. A forest path with fine views stretches out in perfect gravel style, with a few crisp climbs to keep the legs warm. After bypassing the Tuschberg mountain near Valepp, the route swings south back into Austria. Parallel to the Brandenberger Ache river the route completes a few small climbs before descending to Kaiserhaus . Here you have to take the sharp left turn on the descent, at about kilometre 32. Now the tour switches to the east and you have to climb again, in some cases on steep terrain. Here, too, the forest path runs parallel to a small stream, the Ellbach. After another turn in a northerly direction, the last few metres of altitude gain are completed before riders return to Landl, mainly on tarmac.
