Route description From Spitz train station, the route goes through the wild and romantic Miesling Valley via Wolfenreith to Bengelbach. From there, we ride over forest roads that offer a beautiful view of Oberranna Castle, through Mühldorf to Vießling. The high path to Gut am Steg offers fantastic views into the Spitzer Graben with its steep vineyard terraces and leads us into the wine village of Spitz, where we can enjoy Spitz Castle and the very pretty marketplace. Back at the train station, we ride to Schwallenbach and from there via an unpaved country road to the pilgrimage site Maria Laach. Now the route leads us to Hochjauerling with its incredible views deep into the Danube Valley. We still overcome the hay path and then ride back to the starting point.
