Blauen Nordseite
Description
From Ettingen, you climb up to the Blattepass on forest paths, follow the little road uphill again for a while and then reach the ridge path over the Blaueberg. The route now goes up and down, past the transmitter antenna to the Blauepass, on to the Brunneberg (the highest point of the tour) and finally downhill to the little road to Metzerlen. On a forest road you finally reach Burg im Leimental, where you now follow the French-Swiss border on a trail over the Geissberg. You reach the village of Flüh above the Mariastein monastery and follow the northern edge of the forest along a forest path back to Ettingen.
Alternatives: Various singletrail descents from the ridge path towards Hofstetten.

Rode in May 25th, was okay for a training and the one or other good downhill, but unfortunately almost half down on the road or gravel road.
The tour was rather tepid. The ascent was rather difficult thanks to the large stones on the trail, I had to descend again and again.
Tested and approved
A great tour, laid out with a lot of sense and feeling for single trails, compliments to the author!!! (Definitely an insider and connoisseur of the area. TOPJOB. And the rating also fits).
On the ascent, forest paths, which the trails on which the bikers come down mostly avoid. Then the long ridge trail, which is great fun even with the gradient. The last part of this leads into the well-deserved Ruppel descent. The way back is also cleverly routed around the villages and roads and always finds the interesting forest root trail.
