Mountain bike tour from Haldensee via the Gappenfeldscharte and the Strindenscharte

Description:
This challenging mountain bike tour starts at Haldensee and initially leads over asphalt and gravel past the parking lot at the lakeside resort. The first ascent to the Edenbachalm soon awaits, where you can take a break in the mountain hut.

The route continues on steep gravel paths to the Strindenalpe, always accompanied by alpine scenery. After a few more meters in altitude, you reach the Gappenfeldalpe at 1831 m, the highest point of the tour. Here you can enjoy magnificent views, for example from the nearby Strindenscharte.
