Highlight (Segment) • Trail
The tour is 51.6 km long and has a vertical drop of 713 m. It is classified as moderate and requires a good level of fitness and an off-road bike. The tour starts at the train station in Mauerkirchen and first takes you through the Kobernauerwald, the largest contiguous forest in Austria. On the way you will pass the Schachl Chapel, a small 18th-century church surrounded by an idyllic cemetery. You continue through the forest and pass the historic border between Bavaria and Austria, which is marked by a stone. You then reach the Turmwirt Kobernauserwald, a cozy inn with a lookout tower from which you have a wonderful view over the Innviertel.
After a well-deserved break, you drive back through the Mattig Valley, through which the Mattig River flows. You follow the bike path along the river and enjoy the landscape of meadows, fields and villages. You will pass a beautiful vantage point in Seppenroith from which you can see the mountains. You continue through the towns of Uttendorf, Lengau and Friedburg, where you can discover many sights such as churches, castles and museums. You finally reach the train station in Mauerkirchen again, where your tour ends.
