Medium difficulty route mainly on dirt roads that runs between the lower Valle di Cembra and the Adige valley.
The route runs along the network of forest roads and trails covering the dense woods of Valle di Cembra, offering numerous 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.
A stop at the Sauch roccolo is unmissable: a tree sculpture once used for bird hunting and now transformed into a birdwatching observatory.
Safety guidelines
IMPORTANT
The roads on all routes are two-way, always pay attention to other vehicles and people. The routes are not for exclusive use of bicycles. Following the Vaia storm (October 2018), forest roads are used by heavy vehicles for timber processing and transport.
