Trail Reviews
The shopping tour leads from Scharnitz along the Klammbach on well-paved forest paths, steadily uphill - barely noticeable thanks to the e-bike - through lots of forest. And that feels really good! At the Triendlsäge forest inn, the road surface changes from paved gravel to asphalt. Shortly after the alpaca farm, the path leads into Leutaschstrasse. One hard push on the pedals and you've reached Seefeld. The way there is the way back. With one difference: it rolls and rolls. The pedals are on a break, while the brakes are "in full swing" 😉 A successful shopping tour, in every respect 👍
