Medium-difficulty route mainly on dirt roads that runs along the border between the lower Cembra Valley and the Adige Valley.
The route follows the network of forest roads and trails covering the dense woods of the Cembra Valley, offering numerous and exciting technical descents. In the second part, the route offers splendid views of both valleys and mainly runs on roads crossing the famous terraced vineyards of Müller Thurgau and fragrant apple orchards.
