The mountain bike tour

Starting point is the center of Sarnthein. Pedal along the Talfer River to the sport-center and on the road after the bridge to Bad Schörgau Hotel. There you have to bike to the Sarntal-road and then on the small lane to the hamlets Bundschen and Wildlahn. On a very steep street you will reach Mt. Jöcher and on path 19 the peak of the panorama-mountain.

The downhill back to Sarntal is very difficult and requires technical acknowledgements: the first part is a dirt track with many curves, the second one is a asphalted street (to Dörflerhof farm, path 20), the third track is very steep and technical (at some parts you even have to push your bike) and brings you to Schmiedhof farm. Relax there for a little while and afterwards cycle back to Sarnthein.

The challenging tour is 35 km long. You will need 3 hours and you master 700 altimeters.
