The Rinken is a particularly beautiful section of the route - not least because the climb is closed to cars, so you can enjoy the wonderful Zastlertal in peace and quiet. However, it should not be concealed that the increase is not exactly tame. Until you reach the top of the pass at almost 1200m, you can expect an incline …

in short/short it was pretty fresh today at the altitude (at 1000 and 1200 m.a.s.l.)
otherwise this is one of my favorite tours. Through the Zastlertal there was the rare opportunity to visit the mill today. I've been driving past here for 40 years 🤓🙈 and I've always noticed this gem but never seen it from the inside. Checked it …

Difficult birth to find a catchy name for the middle piece here. It's definitely a branch line - the "highlight" - but there are many of them. "Jostal Kammstraße", as Daniel recently dropped, is clearer, but my visual memory doesn't put Jostal that far to the west. Then there's the Doldenbühl, which you can at least touch and which, at …
