Demanding but rewarding circular route with a pushing section!
Due to renovation work, the route is closed until further notice.
The demanding bike route starts in Sautens and initially leads through the village. After two kilometers, the asphalt ends. A forest track then begins, winding through countless hairpin bends in the forest towards the Bärental. The entertaining curve ride already whets the appetite for the descent. After a short flat section, you reach the so-called Braggefleck bike depot (don't forget your lock). From there, the last approximately 300 vertical meters (unrideable) to the Bärental hut can be completed on foot. Back at the bike, continue straight ahead over the channel. In this area the bike must be pushed. After the short pushing section, the route continues downhill to Haderlehn. At the end, you cycle through the village of Sautens back to the starting point.
