Description
Attention: This bike tour should only be tackled by the utterly fit with solid off-road experience - the steep gravelled sections are very challenging, both uphill and downhill! Keep your distance from grazing cattle and cross the area calmly and quickly. Families better choose one of the tours in the nearby Gaistal alpine paradise.
If you are looking for a real challenge in the saddle, this demanding bike tour to the Rauthhütte is definitely the right choice: From the Munde car park in the Leutasch hamlet of Moos, the ascent starts immediately to the right of the Mundestadl into the forest. Follow the gravel path steeply but with few bends uphill - keep right at the first junction, left at the second.
The last third of the demanding tour then distracts you from the burning calves with impressive panoramic views, after which you finally reach the delicious rest at the foot of the Hohe Munde. The "Kuchl" of the Rauthhütte really does live up to its many culinary awards - there are homemade delicacies with old traditional recipes, dumpling variations to melt away and homemade cakes that are always worth a sweet sin.
A little further on, from the Zugspitzblick view point, you can enjoy a truly picturesque view over the Wetterstein mountains and - of course - all the way to the majestic Zugspitze.
Please be careful on the way back - especially on the steep stretches the gravel can easily start to slide, also always keep an eye out for grazing cattle.
