Just don't do it as a bike tour. It's definitely not a bike route, but a hiking trail. The mountain pass behind the Marschhütte is not suitable for bicycles.

A beautiful mountain hut open only in the summer, with a modest but authentic menu. In the area in front of the terrace, there's a woodshed with a power outlet for charging e-bikes. In the open space behind it, there's a fountain for filling water bottles.
