CLOSED KAT Bike Sport+ stage 1: Hopfgarten - Brixen

From Hopfgarten, the first stage of the KAT Bike Sport+ leads first on a side road up to the sunny plateau of the Penningberg (229) and further into the valley head. From there on route 229 to the Haag Alm. After a short rest with a magnificent view, it's time for the rapid descent into Kelchsau. At the end of the village is the valley station of the Kelchsau cable car, from where you turn right along the Zillfeldweg (MTB 227) uphill to the "Toif" farm with its magnificent views. 

The route over the Glanterer Kogel changes to trail 228. Arriving just below the Glantererkogel (1,434 m), you have to push the bike a few metres to the connection in the Windautal valley. Then you descend quickly (206) to the Angerla Alm and continue along the forest path into the valley and turn right to the Kinzling Alm.

After another short climb, the descent into the beautiful Windautal begins. The last few kilometres lead along the cycle path past the Käsealm Straubing to the Lendwirt. Here, a short uphill stretch past the Westendorf golf course, through the village centre and finalmente along the Brixentaler Radweg cycle path to the stage destination in Brixen im Thale. You can also ride out to Westendorf comfortably - without any significant loss of altitude - via the Jägerhäusl along the Windautaler Straße.
