General information

Directions

From the starting point, we ride uphill on vineyard paths to the Mötschenkopf. We stay on a farm track parallel to the L58. At the L58/K62 junction, we follow the L58 towards Kinderbeuren and turn right at the next opportunity onto a forest path. Follow this path until you reach a country road. The route continues on further farm and forest paths up to the heights of Reil - the Reiler Hals. Cross the L105 and turn onto the next farm track. Continue along this path past the Driesch Hut to the Prinzenkopfturm. After a break, follow the path back a bit. About 500m after the Driesch Hut the path forks - we follow the upper path. After 1.5km you reach the L105 again and follow the road to a hairpin bend. From there, follow a field path until you reach the Mont Royal holiday park. After the holiday park, there is a short, very steep climb, then take a left off the K62 and follow the path on farm tracks and through vineyards. From kilometer 40 the descent back to the starting point begins.

Safety Guidelines
