Description

The route starts in Brigels, either directly in the village or at the large car park by the lake. The start is pleasant and gently leads downhill to the Jörgenburg, where two highlights can be found:

Culinary: A fire pit invites you to a lunch break, ideal for a picnic or a barbecue pause.

Cultural: The largest castle complex in the Surselva offers exciting insights into the history of the region and is an impressive place to linger.

From the castle, the route leads over easy trails down to Rueun, an enjoyable section that almost feels like a dessert. Afterwards, it continues on the bike path to Trun.

From here begins the more sporty part of the route: Over village and alpine roads, about 735 meters of elevation gain are overcome up to near Alp da Schlans. A short, smoothly rideable trail brings you to the second fire pit at Plaids, a beautiful place for a last break with a view.

Hidden Gem

Be sure to plan some time for a stop at the Jörgenburg, the largest castle complex in the Surselva is worth it.

For all those riding an e-bike: There are charging stations in Waltensburg at Hotel Ucliva and in Danis at the Volg village store. Both are just a few meters off the route and easily accessible.

Safety Note

In uncertain weather conditions, the route should not be undertaken. Weather changes in the mountains are frequent. If a rain front or similar appears during the route, you should turn back in time.

Equipment

Helmet, gloves, bike shoes, glasses, rain and sun protection, drink, repair kit, first aid kit
