A moderately difficult route, mainly on dirt roads, that winds between the lower Cembra Valley and the Adige Valley.
The route winds along a network of forest roads and trails covering the dense woods of Cembra Valley, offering several exciting technical descents. In the second part, the route offers splendid views of both valleys and mainly follows roads that cross the famous terraced vineyards of Müller Thurgau and fragrant apple orchards.

IMPORTANT

Traffic on all routes is two-way; always pay attention to other vehicles and the presence of people. The routes are not exclusively for bicycles. Following the Vaia storm (October 2018), forest roads are used by heavy vehicles for logging and timber transport.
