Fischbach Alps Tour
Open
To all nature enthusiasts who also want to be sporty on the road! In Fischbach starts the signposted Fischbacher-Alpen-Tour for all who want to discover the "ups and downs" of the area around Fischbach and St. Kathrein.
The Fischbacher Alpentour is a varied and partly very demanding route, which probably includes everything that makes a real MTB an experience. Starting from the towns of Fischbach at 1000 m, or St. Kathrein / Hauenstein at 820 m above sea level, the tour has the most diverse characters. Past romantic mills, farms, alternating shady forest paths and magnificent panoramic views.
This mountain bike route is oriented in the area of Roseggers Waldheimat and belongs to the only officially signposted MTB - route in the tourist region Joglland - Waldheimat. The many entry points, such as from the Alpl, the many inns and private quarters in the villages or along the route invite the biker to a rest or accommodation.
The Fischbacher Alpen-Tour is signposted with boards of the same name.
