Gravel biking around Floß
Singletrack runs both at the top and bottom, wider in the middle section but interspersed with roots and washouts. The climb is quite steep, but relatively easy to manage with an e-MTB, as you don't need turbo (Bosch) or boost (Shimano) mode if you're reasonably fit. Going uphill on a mountain bike is certainly a very athletic challenge.

The path along the canal exudes the charm of a South Tyrolean irrigation canal path. The actual Gaisbach (one of the upper reaches of the Floß) flows below the canal diverted near the Gaismühle mill in the valley.

Very quiet and lonely in summer, probably busier in winter. Restaurant currently closed (summer 2023).
