Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Gigerwaldsee Panorama Towards St. Martin

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Very nice route along the Gigerwaldsee to St Martin. Again and again breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Be sure to take lamps with you, as the tunnels are poorly lit.

Calfeisental to Gigerwald Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

quite easy ascent through the lower Calfeisental, all on asphalt, around 400 meters up to the Gigerwald dam. From there one-way traffic along the reservoir to St. Martin, Hin resp. Return every hour once possible.
