    This route starts in Umhausen at the Mure parking lot (village center). From the starting point, you first ride up the slightly ascending Roßlachgasse until you reach the signpost "Umhauser Höhenweg". Then follow the wide gravel road to Niederthai to the district Höfle. The path leads through idyllic forests with moderate inclines. Peace and pure enjoyment are guaranteed here. The last section to the Höfle district is a narrow, steep hiking trail where you may have to push the mountain bike (sporty bikers continue riding here). From Höfle, the route goes downhill to the Mühl district past the Stuibenfall guesthouse. From there, the wide gravel road on the right via the "Alter Niederthaier Straße" leads back to Umhausen. Before the descent, a detour to the Stuibenfall — the largest waterfall in Tyrol — is worthwhile. Here, you experience the impressive natural spectacle up close. The last part of the tour leads back through Roßlachgasse to the starting point.
