On this physically demanding mountain bike route you can enjoy the pristine nature of the Brandenberg Alps. The cross-region round trip serves as a supplement to the already existing MTB routes on site. Two starting points are planned for the route, which can be ridden either clockwise or counterclockwise.

Start at the Kaiserhaus in Brandenberg over a short ascending stretch. After a few minutes continue flat along the Brandenberger Ache over the Trauersteg to the Erzherzog Johann Klause. Nice place to stop where water was once dammed for the Brandenberger timber rafting. From there via the Achernalm and Riedenberg back to Brandenberg.

At the starting point awaits the impressive Kaiserklamm, accessible via a secured path. At the Kaiserhaus you can reward yourself in the wonderful beer garden with local game and fish dishes as well as the unique Brandenberger Prügeltorte.
