Bike tour St. Leonhard- Walten- St. Leonhard
You start your tour in St. Leonhard in Passeier and follow the Kirchweg steeply uphill. As soon as the road becomes a little less steep, turn onto the Platzerbergweg and follow it until you are above the last farms.
There, turn left into the forest and continue towards Walten on a relatively level section. The tarmac road now takes you uphill through several hairpin bends, passing farms, meadows and shady stretches of forest. After a short downhill section, continue straight ahead, passing a chapel and a small settlement before eventually reaching Walten. At the bridge, turn left and after a few minutes you reach the Jaufenstraße.
From there, the return journey takes you at a relaxed pace back down to St. Leonhard along the Jaufenstraße.
Wear a cycle helmet and weather-appropriate clothing and take enough water and food with you. Before setting off, check your bike and make sure that the brakes, tyres and lights are working properly.
