Forest trail with steep ramps to the Enningalm

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

After the somewhat boring ascent on the wide forest path, the path becomes a little narrower and rockier, but also more beautiful. However, there are two steep ramps to overcome, which are easy to master with the EMTB Turbo

Enningalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Here is probably one of the best Kaiserschmarrn in the Prealps. Unfortunately, the Alm is only managed, as long as the cattle is up. So urgently inform in advance, if it is open.

Rotmoos Switchback Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The trail is pretty exposed, but hardly blocked. Therefore perfect to ride, even with a hardtail, as long as you are free from giddiness and can get around switchbacks. In a pinch you can also push through the curves. :)

Beautiful mountain lake with restaurants and a small swimming pool with a kiosk. Can also be reached by car and is accordingly highly frequented, but definitely worth a detour.

It was supposed to be sunny - and it was, but you can clearly tell that it's November... The trains to Garmisch were full and I was only able to get on the second one, including my bike... But then we went up to the Pflegersee and there was already nothing going on. Where did they all go?? Even at …

A very enjoyable, spontaneous train trip with @Artur. Extremely uplifting in these rainy weeks - finally: effort, pushing/carrying, flow, going down, moving, roots/rocks and, last but not least, the greatest possible shared experience fun and, what's more, nothing was broken - bone-wise or bike-wise.

On days like these - without rain.

Once again Enning-Alm - it is and remains one of my favorite tours...

Start in Burgrain - up to Pflegersee. Across the Buckelwiesen up to the Enning-Alm - including some steep ramps including the last "vomit ramp" :-).

Always worth a stop in the summer months to replenish your energy storage and enjoy the view.

The Enningalm was due again a long time ago. However, I didn't want to do the usual very nice but somewhat unexciting round after the trail back over the Ettaler side.
Instead, I wanted - if possible - to include a nice trail for the descent and also try a few other variations.

OK Ok OK it wasn't the "yellow Gwand" but the "yellow GwÄnd" from the Steppbergalm down. But it was at least as exciting as the yellow lady. Well, trail-wise!

It's supposed to be very exposed and cross crash terrain, but you don't notice anything because you have to concentrate fully on the trail. Good this way.

Even the journey there was quite a challenge: The Farchant Tunnel closed due to an accident – causing a traffic jam that felt as far as the North Sea. Therefore, the tour started in Farchant and not at Sonnenbichl as planned.

Rain pants, rain jacket, overshoes, Europads for slippery rocks... all brought along because it was supposed to rain. But nothing came. There we go again: unfounded optimists live better and experience more.

I know every curve on the way up to the Enning Alm, and I managed my personal "benchmark" in terms of gradient, next to the Esterbergalm, without dismounting. …

Rain is forecast again. The group of fellow riders is thinning considerably. But you can always rely on @Artur. Great.

But in the morning, there's sunshine and a bit of warmth at Lake Pflerersee.
On the way up to the Enning Alm, it gradually gets really cold: +4.5°C.
In contrast to Wednesday three days ago, today there's snow on the …
