Horlachtal NiederthaiPhoto: Ötztal
Worthwhile and scenic route around the Horlachbach.
The starting point of the route is in Niederthai at the Sennhof parking lot, right next to the information center. From there, cycle left, following the paved road up to the Falknerhof hotel. Then turn left again and follow the forest road to the edge of the forest. The mountain bike route continues through the dense forest. Eventually, you reach another forest road. Here there is the option to ride downhill towards the Larstig Alm (managed). Otherwise, cross the creek and cycle downhill again on the Bergmahderweg. Here you can enjoy the breathtaking panorama until you return to the starting point.
