Beautiful, easy to drive path in the direction of Silvesteralm and Steinberger Alm. The wide forest path leads through a beautiful valley with a pleasant incline, cows accompany the journey again and again, it hums and growls everywhere. Just lovely.

July 25, 2024,🇮🇹Stoneman Dolomiti 1/3

Stoneman Dolomiti 1/3 opening round: it was quite leisurely until the Silvesterhütte. Dumpling tris and Kaiserschmarren -> the finest! The old serpentine military road to Marchkinkele is tough: currently battered by harvesters and heavy downpours, you have to fully activate the torture gene to bike up there organically. Marchkinkele is a peak on the AUT/ITA border with a beautiful peace …

August 29, 2024,Stoneman Dolomiti Teil 1 - Marchkinkele

My Stoneman Resume:

Part 1: Marchkinkele without major technical requirements, so "easy".

Part 2: We adapted the climb to the Sillianerhütte to the hotel (starting point from Kaditsch) very nice and no one there until you get to the Leckfeldalm access road. In the upper part from Leckfeldalm, I couldn't even push through. 3 x total of about 100 meters …

July 11, 2022,🇮🇹 "Stoneman Dolomiti" Marathon vorzeitig beendet☹️

Unfortunately had to end the marathon prematurely after a third of the distance. Probably Corona, plus a less than optimal preparation made me stop. I save under "Reason triumphs over ambition"
The trio in love continued the tour. Real bikers over 50 do it 👍😀

The first day of the Stoneman Dolomiti is behind us, a hard and demanding, but also a very nice mountain bike day. This year we are starting with a team, Norbert, Wolfgang, Rudi and me. Rudi and Wolfgang are from Lower Bavaria and I met each other through a 😍 Stoneman dating app. 😉 Well, that's nonsense, of course, we've …

We left later because of the rain. Then it was foggy, with only brief flashes of sunshine. But we stayed dry.

September 7, 2025,Dolomiten 2025: Auf das Marchkinkele (2545 m)

Actually, today was supposed to be just a restful walk along the Toblacher Höhenweg (Toblach High Trail). But then I got so close to the Marchkinkele, and that's where I've always wanted to go. The old military road promised a moderate climb, so the current should be sufficient. And the way back was all downhill.
