Reinerzauer Steige

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Be careful when going downhill. A few cars are coming! Down to Reinerzau it is really steep and only the lower part was tarred in the spring of 2019. Further up the surface is borderline. Nothing to let go!

September 7, 2025, Reinerzauer Steige

Not all that steep, if you expect the promised 20%. Coming from Reinerzau, the 12% average over approximately 1.6km is still decent. The gradient definitely remains in the double digits throughout, reaching approximately 15%. For the lower 800m near Reinerzau, the surface is immaculate, having been resurfaced, but unfortunately, the rest is quite bumpy – so be careful on the descent! There might also be the occasional car on the road. Although the section after Alpirsbach is a bit flatter, you should still brake regularly to avoid speeding at 60-70 km/h into a 30 km/h zone.

If you want to ride the Griesbacher Steige, I recommend doing it as early as possible on the weekend. Sometimes there is heavy motorcycle and car traffic!! Your guide Werner

There are several hiking trails available up here. They are versatile and cross-field in, around and through the forests.

Coming from the west, I would take the Oppenauer Steige or up via Maisach. It's definitely quieter there.

The B28 will be renovated from the outskirts of Bad Griesbach to the junction with the B 500 at Alexanderschanze. From June 20, 2022 until probably Saturday August 20, 2022. Driving through is not tolerated.

My recommendation: down, because then you can keep up with the speed of traffic. There are a lot of motorbikes here in summer and not everyone is considerate (distance and such).
