Geierstein – Fockenstein

Fockenstein

From Lenggries, you ride to the Neuhüttenalm and can see the Fockenstein behind it. Then it's up to the saddle and the Geierstein trail, a forest trail with lots of root passages and tight hairpin bends. A wonderful after-work ride.

Description

From Lenggries, the route leads to the Hirschbergsattel saddle and then continues steeply uphill through the forest. You then come to the alpine meadow area, where a few very steep ramps await until you finally have to push across a meadow to the Neuhüttenalm. Ride past this on the left and up to the saddle. Now you can either push up to the Fockstein and return the same way or ride the trail to the left across the meadow to the forest, where the Fockstein trail becomes steep and rooty. In the lower part, the trail is wider until it turns into a forest road (Maximiliansweg). Ride straight on until the road ends. This is where the Geierstein Trail begins. The trail meanders through the forest, first flowing and then steep with roots and some tight hairpin bends. It only becomes a little easier again in the lower part. The difficulty level of the trail is in the S3 range. Once you reach the forest road, turn right and ride to Lenggries and Hohenburg Castle.

Background to Ride MTB

Ride MTB is dedicated to mountain biking. With the maps Ride Trail Maps and Trail Books and the print magazine Ride, it has played a formative role in alpine mountain biking for many years and has shaped it like few other organizations.

In addition to the publishing business, the company is now also active in product management and operating entire mountain bike projects. These include the tourism project Ride Travel and the development of modern and authentic mountain bike offers such as the Bahnentour in Davos Klosters, Engadin St. Moritz, Lenzerheide or Aletsch, as well as the creation of multi-day tours such as the Postauto-Tour or the Hüttentour.

Ride MTB GmbH was founded in 2001 (formerly Swiss Sports Publishing GmbH) and has been owned and managed by Thomas Giger since then.
