Route description
The tour starts in Niederolang. At the railway subway, cyclists head west and follow the 10 km long cycle and hiking trail to Reischach. Initially, the route leads relatively steeply past two farms and soon reaches a tarmac forest path. This takes the bikers to Reischach, where they turn right at the Kapplerhof onto a dirt track and cycle to the ice rink in Bruneck. There, the mountain bikers take the route through the idyllic Rienzschlucht gorge, pass through 2 long tunnels and return to Olang on the Pustertal cycle path without any major effort.
