Upper Alpe Reuterwanne

Description:
Starting from Jungholz, the route immediately goes uphill. A great and scenic route in the border area between Germany and Austria awaits you. The tour has about 400 meters of elevation gain, with some difficult sections. The area between Pfeifferberg and Reuterwanne is steep and rough. Caution is advised.
For demanding bikers, there are 15 bike routes with a total of 150 kilometers, approved and uniformly signposted by the state of Tyrol. Furthermore, the Tannheimer Tal is the starting point for the newly designed "Bike Trail Tirol." The large circular route with over 800 kilometers and many connecting stages with an additional 500 kilometers are designed so that bikers can put together their personal route.
Paths away from the roads
You can explore the surroundings on the "Tannheimer Tal bike path," which passes the most beautiful corners of the Tyrolean high valley over 40 kilometers. The bike paths are away from the federal road and uniformly signposted. Via Schattwald towards Rehbach, you reach Ober- and Unterjoch in the Allgäu - pause for a moment at the moor pond "Floschen." Or cycle through Tannheim and Grän further on the new lakeside promenade at Haldensee to Nesselwängle. A detour to the Vilsalpsee nature reserve will surely please you.

Follow the color....
The right mix is what counts - this also applies to the mountain bike offerings in the Tyrolean Tannheimer Tal. Anyone pedaling here can choose from 15 routes and more than 300 mountain bike kilometers for all skill and fitness levels. All routes are combinable and clearly signposted.
Blue route - easy
Mountain bike beginners or confident riders as well as e-bikers follow the blue signs in the Tannheimer Tal. The consistently well-rideable paths have only minimal elevation gain and are therefore ideal for family outings in the saddle, where there is certainly no monotony: The Kneipprundweg, for example, offers a refreshing descent depending on mood. After all, the almost six kilometers and 198 meters of elevation gain ride much easier with well-circulated legs.
Red route - medium difficulty
Those who see red in the Tannheimer Tal will be pleased. Specifically about medium difficult and scenically attractive mountain bike routes that require sporty cycling skills and particularly defensive riding behavior. Scenic tour tip: On the about 11-kilometer-long "Haldenrunde," bikers cover about 500 meters of elevation gain and are rewarded at the Berghotel Zugspitzblick at the top with a wide view into the Tannheimer Tal and the mountains Rote Flüh and Gimpel, the landmarks of the Tyrolean high valley. In good visibility, the view even extends to Germany's highest mountain.
Black route - difficult
In total, 2 tours in the Tannheimer Tal are marked black. This means they are classified as "difficult" and require stamina and mountain bike experience. Like the route to Raaz Alpe, where 47 kilometers and 1,512 meters of elevation gain await the mountain bikers. The diversity of the Tyrolean high valley shows itself in the "talumrundung" (valley round): On 67 kilometers and 1,280 meters of elevation gain, the route offers the full range of mountain biking. By the way, bikers can enter or exit the "Tour de Tannheimer Tal" at any point.
---> Tip: The Tannheimer Tal is the starting point for the Bike Trail Tirol, the longest contiguous circular route for mountain bikers in the Alpine region with 1,000 kilometers.Directions:

The route starts in the town center of Jungholz at the lift parking lot and initially leads uphill along the municipal road to the district Langenschwand. On flat terrain, it passes the chapel and the "Lärchenhof" until the next fork in the path. Turn left and ride through meadows and light forest area to the Stubental alpine pasture. The route then continues on a forest road to the Austrian/Bavarian border. On the left, the last section leads steeply on a rough path into the saddle between Pfeifferberg and Reuterwanne up to the alpine pasture. (Caution - possibly a short section to push the bike). On the return route, please be especially careful on the steep, stony downhill section.

Tip:

There should definitely be time for a rest at the Alpe Stubental.

Safety guidelines:

It should be noted that mountain biking involves an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, there is always a basic risk. Preparation through endurance training, appropriate technical training and education as well as personal caution reduces the risk of accidents. But never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on marked paths.
Ride on the "safe side" in the Tannheimer Tal
In Austria, mountain biking is generally prohibited on all forest and hiking trails by law, except for expressly permitted mountain bike routes. The entries to forest roads are sometimes marked with no-entry signs and additional information such as "cycling prohibited." Hiking trails do not have these prohibition signs, but riding on these paths is also forbidden.

Equipment:

Personal equipment must be safe and functional and correspond to the respective technical standard. Every mountain biker is recommended to inform themselves about the planned routes in specialist literature or on site. 
Complete mountain bike equipment is definitely recommended even for experienced riders!
