Ruine Reussenstein

Many of the Kreten trails in the Swabian Alb are very easy to ride. Not so the trail leading from the Reussenstein ruins. If you're up for a challenge, this is the place for you.

Description

From Weilheim, you’ll ride first on bike paths, then on small country roads to Randeck, and from there on to the Mönchberg hiking parking lot. Here you’ll leave the paved road behind, as narrow trails dominate the rest of the route. At first, the ride is fast-paced and fun along the ridge to the “Bahnhöfle,” even though there are neither tracks nor a train station here. You briefly ascend again on a paved road before turning left a short while later toward the Reussenstein ruins. These sit spectacularly atop a rock.

Just past the ruins, the route continues on trails that run very smoothly all the way to the Reussenstein estate before the character of the paths changes. The long trail over to the Bossler is technically demanding, narrow, and littered with roots. There are also frequent short, steep climbs along the way. The route presents a technical challenge and proves to be a real feat of strength without an e-mountain bike. Those who want to avoid the effort can take the gravel roads toward Bossler.

Bossler lies high above the roaring Autobahn 8. The tight hairpin turns on the descent demand full concentration and push the traffic noise into the background. The route winds down in wide curves to the Deutsches Haus country inn and back into the forest immediately behind it. After a short transfer section, you steer your mountain bike through a somewhat overgrown forest clearing until suddenly a wonderful trail lies before you, leading through the secluded forest in easily ridden switchbacks. Finally, you roll along a gravel road to the first houses of Weilheim and from there back to the starting point.

Note: The tour is located in Baden-Württemberg with the legal requirement of a two-meter rule. This tour contains elements that do not comply with this regulation. Rather, it reflects routes that are ridden by local mountain bikers. Compliance with the regulations is the responsibility of each individual mountain biker.
