Turn-by-turn directions
Choose your starting point depending on fitness level and how far you would like to ride: for the full tour, begin in Erde, otherwise start and finish in Aven for a shorter ride, omitting the lowest section. Follow the mountain road that climbs up to the hamlet of Code before descending along forest roads and some singletracks sections. This route is also suitable for electric bikes; the descents, partly off the beaten track, do not present special difficulties.
