This diverse and challenging mountainbike tour begins in Bad Peterstal with the first steep rise up to the "Freiersberger Hütte" and the Glaswaldsee. In the summer you can make the first break at the mountain lake before continuing. Dont miss the beautiful views around the Bauernkopf as well as the Buchkopf tower along the route. With the hotel "Zuflucht" as well as the "Renchtalhütte" in Bad Griesbach you have two great opportunities to enjoy the traditional dishes of the region.

Diese Runde ist so nicht zu empfehlen. Wir mussten mehrmals improvisieren weil Wege in die wir abbiegen sollten nicht vorhanden waren. Und wenn vorhanden, nicht einmal zu Fuß begehbar! Nach einer Stunde gaben wir die vorgegebene Route auf und orientierten uns nach den Wegschildern.
