For those who don't mind longer mountain tours, this tour is just the thing. This route starts west to Trattenhof and continues towards Auerlingsee. With the summit victory in mind, the steep forest road winds its way up to the Dreiwiesenhütte. Once at the top, the summit cross of the Erste Grebenzenhöhe is not far away. The bike has to be pushed the last few meters before the effort is rewarded by a fantastic panoramic view. The second half of the route only runs downhill - from the Grebenzen refuge via the toboggan run to the Maria Schönanger pilgrimage church and back to the monastery.
