The Fischbacher Alpentour is a varied and partly very demanding route, which probably includes everything that makes a real MTB an experience. Starting from the towns of Fischbach at 1000 m, or St. Kathrein / Hauenstein at 820 m above sea level, the tour has the most diverse characters. Past romantic mills, farms, alternating shady forest paths and magnificent panoramic views.
This mountain bike route is oriented in the area of Roseggers Waldheimat and belongs to the only officially signposted MTB - route in the tourist region Joglland - Waldheimat. The many entry points, such as from the Alpl, the many inns and private quarters in the villages or along the route invite the biker to a rest or accommodation.
The Fischbacher Alpen-Tour is signposted with boards of the same name.
Author’s recommendation
After the bike tour you deserve a refreshment in one of the many restaurants in the high altitude health resort Fischbach!
