Rosszähne
Description
The route starts south of Lake Kaltern at Monte Gmund. From here, you roll north on the country road to Lake Kaltern. At the Klughammer campsite, there is an idyllic uphill section through the forest up to almost 600 meters above sea level. The so-called Pfattner Walls are crossed here and there are some fabulous views of the Adige Valley and the Dolomites. The first downhill is of mixed difficulty S1 to S2 and in places S3 to the Kreidhof. From the Kreithhof farm, you briefly come across the main road before the route then takes you back to the Leuchtenburg castle on old paths and a small trail uphill in a very idyllic setting. From here you can expect an open panorama towards Lake Kaltern and northwards to Monte Roén. For a short downhill section, the uphill variant is chosen again before the actual highlight of the tour, the Rosszähne, is reached. After a traverse in the forest on difficulty S1, it gets right down to business. On S2, S3 to S4 in places, you ride completely down the ridge towards the starting point. There are some very challenging key sections to tackle, which in dry conditions are perfect for alpine mountain biking and an enduro-heavy tour.

I really enjoyed the tour in places. However, the descent is very difficult in parts due to a washed-out bed which is often very narrow and has S4 level. I would have expected a higher riding technique rating as the difficult section is more than just a small key section.
Great tour, but I can't understand why there are only three points for riding technique. As described above, the descent from the Rosszähne is very demanding with some very tricky sections.
The tour can also be combined very well with the Wilder Mann, then you have a full day tour with trail fireworks and can also start directly from Bolzano.
just for info :)
great tour!
downloaded the gps track and cycled it, instead of 660 m uphill I got 902 m :)
and in the description "at the campsite Klughammer...." there is no campsite Klughammer, there is Pension Klughammer.
the place 'Klughammer' is called 'Campi al lago' in Italian maybe that's why there is confusion :)
By the way, you can also park here.
