The 5-Valleys-Tour dream trail begins directly opposite Rüssels Country House. After just a few steps, the route leads from the road into the tranquil forest landscape – past ancient trees, gentle slopes, and the first small stream. Tip: Take advantage of the starting point for a photo with a view of the country house – especially in autumn, the facade with its colorful trees provides a beautiful backdrop.

You ride through nature on an idyllic path made of wooden planks. Since there are also a lot of hikers here, you have to adjust your speed accordingly.
