Description

The route leads along low-traffic secondary roads from Krumbach via Tiefenbach and Straß to Kirchschlag, where there are spectacular views of the 1000 hills and the Kirchschlag castle ruins. From Kirchschlag, it goes over the Niklasberg (or alternatively the Zöbernbach cycle path) to Bad Schönau and back to Krumbach via the Katzentürl.

Equipment When going out, we recommend wearing a bike helmet. Wear appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes. Remember rain and sun protection. Take enough to drink with you.
Route description The route starts in Krumbach at the municipal car park. Head towards the municipal office, then turn left and at the right curve turn left again. Then follow the signposts towards Tiefenbach. Pass the Buchegger inn and continue uphill, on to Straß and follow the signs to Kirchschlag. Via the main square, continue towards Bad Schönau. After leaving Kirchschlag, turn left after Motorsport Knöbel onto the Niklasberg, via Ungerbach and Maierhöfen leading to Bad Schönau. Those who want to avoid the altitude gain over the Niklasberg can follow the Zöbernbach cycle path from Kirchschlag to Bad Schönau. Go through the town and cross the B55, then pass the Triad. There is still an ascent to the Glanzriegen, after which the route leads over the Katzentürl back to Krumbach. At the Rosenkranz chapel, there are once again beautiful views of Krumbach and its surroundings. The route runs on little-trafficked roads.
