Mendelkamm
Description
The tour usually starts in Eppan and then leads primarily on gravel roads up to the Gampenjoch. Then things get steep: a mix of trails and small roads leads up to the Moschen forest clearing on the Mendelkamm ridge. This is followed by a short descent to the Felix Weiher pond, where the next ascent awaits after the Malga di Fondo. This leads to the summit of the Gantkofel. Now you follow the ridge, passing the Kemmat and Furgglauerscharte until you finally reach the Penegal with its fantastic view of the Bolzano region. The transmitter antennas, visible from afar, are the starting point of the trail descent to the Mendel Pass - where the trail starts to climb again. A small road leads up to Malga Romeno at the foot of the Roen. This is the perfect place to camp for the night, the Überetscherhütte (Rifugio Oltradige Al Roen) is just a short distance from the route. It's worth climbing up to the Roen summit for the sunset after all, and then again the next day in the morning sun. The second day begins not only with summit bliss, but also with a long singletrail ride along the mountain ridge to the Fenner Joch. This is the starting point of the beautiful and long descent down to Margreid and then on a high-level trail to Tramin. You can either order a shuttle here and be driven back to Eppan, or you can tackle the last, but far less spectacular section back under your own steam.
