Two crisp climbs and a rapid descent make the Kufsteinerland tour a sporting challenge. Views down into the Kaiserklamm gorge make up for the aching muscles.
This challenging circular tour in Kufsteinerland is characterized by steep ascents and rapid descents. The route runs mainly on forest and woodland paths and requires solid technical skills and a very good level of fitness. Scenic highlights are the steep north faces of the Hinterer Sonnwendjoch and the wild foaming water in the Kaiserklamm gorge of the Brandenberger Ache.
The tour begins in the village of Landl in the municipality of Thiersee. The first climb to Riedenberg is steep but manageable, as it’s on asphalt. Since the road ends in Riedenberg, the route is relatively traffic-free. Just before reaching the hamlet, you leave the asphalt and from this point on, ride entirely on gravel until just before the end. The path runs peacefully along the Ellbergbach stream, gently downhill to the Kaiserhaus. From there, the route follows the Brandenberger Ache upstream with occasional glimpses into the gorge. The climb ends definitively at the Elendsattel at 1,143 meters. With views of the steep northern faces of Hinteres Sonnwendjoch, the route follows the Elendbach downhill into the Kloo-Ascher Valley and across the German-Austrian border at Ursprung, returning to Landl.
