Gfeis
Description
The tour starts in the city center of Merano, from where you cycle along the cycle path along the Passer river into the Passeier Valley. However, the leisurely roll-in soon comes to an end. At a bridge, you cross the Passer and climb up a small road to Riffian. You pass the village and then turn left onto the mountain road up to Gfeis. Just before Gfeis, turn right and climb up to the Unteröbert inn - the culmination point of the tour with an excellent view over the Merano region. It's time for the descent! The high trail to Gfeis sharpens your senses, which you then need on the agile, fun, flowing and sometimes tricky singletrail descent to Riffian. Keep right at the first houses and then head down to the banks of the Passer on a mix of single trails and small roads. You now roll back to Merano on the northern side of the river.
Route: Merano - Obermais - Passer riverside path - Kuens - Riffian - Vernuer - Unteröberst - Gfeis - Sonnenhof (Kuens) - Finele - Passer riverside path - Merano

Rode the tour today.
Wonderful trails, which are always interspersed with tricky sections.
Despite the fantastic weather, there were no hikers on the way.
Absolutely recommendable tour!
I rode the tour today with the E-MTB. Ignored 5 no biking signs and followed Thomas' tip at "Hof Gfeis." 😉
Conclusion: Unfortunately awesome! The hikers took it easy.
Rode the beautiful tour in glorious fall weather. As Boelke writes, there is a ban on bikes at every entrance to the trails. Although the Untertöbert inn was open, we didn't meet a single hiker.
There's real trouble at "Hof Gfeis" - multiple barriers through large gates. Better to take a shortcut across the meadow. Our start and finish point was at Gasthof Hilberkeller in Kuens.
There are no-entry signs at every 'entrance' to the 21, which is (mostly) used for departures. Nobody knows why. Since the inns at the top of the trail have closed, only the occasional hiker is seen here.
