Rotbergegg

The area north of Brugg is an inconspicuous region, but boasts first-class single trails. The Rotberg tour rides from Brugg over the Geissberg to Beznau and back along the River Aare.

Description

From Brugg, follow the Veloland route via Umikon to the hamlet of Altstalden. Leave the marked route on the right and take the forest road to Sennhütten and later the singletrail via Oberegg to Bürersteig. The route leads along a forest road to the Geissbergs transmitter antenna, where a fun singletrail leads towards the large gravel pit. Follow the marked hiking trails to Rotbergegg and follow the ridge over Nassbergegg to the small road at the Paul Scherrer Institute. Around one kilometer further north, the next single trail branches off to the left and rides to the Beznau nuclear power plant. Now head upstream on the left bank of the Aare, change banks at Stilli and climb up to Bruggerberg. There is another beautiful singletrail along the ridge that rides almost directly into the center of Brugg.

Up to km20 all road/gravel. This is also possible with a road bike/gravel bike. It only gets exciting for mountain bikers from km24 (Rotbergegg). Next time I would ride from Brugg directly via Riniken and Remigen to Rotbergegg. And then follow the Trailforks trails from the restaurants up there.
