The route through this quiet side valley between the Drautal in the west and the federal highway 98 in the east is quite challenging for cyclists because it offers a very bumpy profile with crisp climbs, but also relaxing descents and is also very winding in parts. In terms of landscape, however, this route is highly recommended. This valley is also known for its marble quarries at the apex of the route and two workshops that produce sculptures. Overall, a very worthwhile route away from the main paths.

Connects the Drautal with the Gegendtal, 6.8 km long, about 150 m above sea level, no cycle path but little traffic, especially on weekends. During the week, more trucks are to be expected as there is a quarry there
