高地のおすすめツーリングルート

レッドキャッスルは、17世紀に建てられ、時間の経過とともに大幅に拡張された大きな塔のある家で、レッドキャッスル・バーンの川岸にある私有地にあります。 レッドキャッスルという名のこの邸宅には、他の建物も含まれており、15世紀半ばにはアボック卿、そしてスチュアート王家の様々なメンバーによって封建領地として保持されていました。1570年以降、レッドキャッスルはマッケンジー家の所有となり、彼らがこの大きな塔のある家を建てました。

Delicious :) try the cheese scones!

I prefer riding this classic gravel loop clockwise from Glen Feshie to Glen Tromie. After the steep climb you will be rewarded with some lovely gravel tracks and great panoramic views cycling over to Glen Tromie.

This climb (or descent) at Glen Feshie is one of the most beautiful in the region, but also definitely one of the toughest. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this slow but beautiful ascent, which even involved a bit of walking. The views on both sides are your reward.

This beautiful cast-iron bridge from 1912 is one to pause at, not only to enjoy, but also because on both sides you'll have to get off your bike to cross the bridge because of the large steps.

The Glenmore Forest Park Visitor Center and the adjacent Allt Mor Café were a wonderful stop after our overnight stay a little further on at the Ryvoan Bothy. After a mediocre breakfast that we brought with us to the bothy, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast and good coffee.

The Ryvoan Bothy is an authentic and, above all, small bothy. Because it's also relatively close to a large parking lot and visitor center for Glenmore Forest Park, and the path to it is easy to walk and cycle, it's likely to be crowded. Therefore, it wasn't my favorite during my cycling trip through the Cairngorms, but it does offer excellent accommodations with a few sleeping places, a table and chairs, and a stove.

I found this gently climbing and undulating gravel road through the forest a great pleasure to cycle. I was shocked by the elevation gain on the map, but in practice, the gravel path proved to be easy to ride and also very beautiful.
