Rofan-Runde
Description
The tour starts in Eben and rides via Notburgasteig to Kanzelkehre, where you take the beautiful trail to Astenberg on the left. In Astenberg, keep right and then turn left into the forest. The forest road soon ends and you have to push your bike up a little. Now follow a small path over many roots and rocks, which requires some skill, until you reach a forest road. Follow this to the left until you come to Kronbichl and on to Grünsbach. This is where the long climb past the Platzachalm begins, until the forest road ends after the Hochalm and the bike has to be pushed northwards along a path that is not clearly visible. Once you reach the top, the trail is not too difficult and leads to the Kreuzeinalm. Behind the alpine pasture, climb up the cart track to the saddle and take the path down to the Schauertalalm. The trail is very steep and technical, with several hairpin bends and counter-climbs. The trail winds beautifully along the slope, beware of the risk of falling in places! After a while, leave the Schauertalalm on the right and continue riding down to the stream bed. Here you meet the Adlerweg trail, which flows along the stream and soon ends. Now begins a forest road labyrinth that rides to the Kögljochsattel. From here you have a beautiful view of the Christlum and the Seekarspitze opposite. After a short, steep gravel descent, you come to the Köglalm, where the rapid downhill to the Achensee begins on the left - very fun with lots of roots and offshoots, you will be challenged with increased speed. You don't have much time to enjoy the wonderful view of the emerald green Achensee. It is a reward for the exertions you have put in. Once you reach the bottom of the lake, you ride back to the starting point on the Achensee cycle path via Maurach. Difficulty level S2 to S4.
Note: The route is located on Austrian territory and leads over routes that are not approved for mountain bikers. Riding this route on a mountain bike is the responsibility of each individual, in full awareness of the legal situation.

Very nice tour. Quite demanding in terms of fitness and the trail descents. The ascent is quite difficult as everything is on gravel. Very little going on, pure wilderness in the milder area, especially on the descent! Very easy to find with GPX data and the corresponding Map app, needs a full battery on your cell phone!
