Description
At the start, warm up gently from Brigels through the cool forest of "Fontauna Freida", which means "cold spring". You'll conveniently take a first short single trail along the way. And now you speed through the village of Waltensburg with its charming wooden houses and soon turn towards Munt Sogn Gieri. The beautifully situated castle ruin is definitely worth a detour of 100 meters. Fun and relatively easy, a wide trail now leads down to Rueun. The entertaining continuation over gravel paths and short trails takes you to the town of Ilanz. Here you can refresh yourself and pedal through the old walls of the old town.
Those who had a downhill ride must go back up. Take the old Flonderstrasse and reach the terrace of Obersaxen. From Valata we want to show you the Dachlisee. It lies idyllic in the forest and invites you to take a rest. Then continue up towards Obersaxen Meierhof. At Markal, you now turn off onto a rough forest road that becomes narrower and narrower. This trail gets faster and faster, although it was not specially developed for biking. It's just great fun.
On the next approximately two kilometers on the Polenweg, resting is included. The Rhine lies by the wooden bridge of Rueun at 733 meters above sea level. The destination Brigels is at 1257 meters above sea level. You overcome the elevation on side roads and forest roads with alternating inclines.
