Die Holzbrücke bei Rueun
Easy trails, enjoyable side roads, a forest lake, a ruined castle, magnificent mountain scenery, a “big city” and two languages. That sounds like a varied bike tour. Which is very true for this tour.

Beschreibung

At the start, an easy ride from Brigels through the cool forest of “Fontauna Freida”, which means “cold fountain”. You take a first short singletrail along the way. And now you whizz through the village of Waltensburg with its pretty wooden houses and soon turn off in the direction of Munt Sogn Gieri. The beautifully situated castle ruins are definitely worth a detour of 100 meters. A fun and relatively easy wide trail now leads down to Rueun. The entertaining onward journey along gravel roads and short trails now takes you to the town of Ilanz. Here you can stop for refreshments and pedal between the old walls of the old town.

If you were allowed to ride down, you have to ride up again. Take the old Flonderstrasse and reach the terrace of Obersaxen. From Valata, we would like to show you the Dachlisee. It is idyllically situated in the forest and invites you to take a break. Continue up towards Obersaxen Meierhof. At Markal, you now branch off onto a rough forest road that gets narrower and narrower. This trail gets faster and faster, although it has not been specially developed for bikes. It is simply great fun.

The next two kilometers or so on the Polenweg are a great place to rest. The Rhine lies at the Rueun wooden bridge at 733 meters above sea level. The destination of Brigels is 1257 m above sea level. You cover the meters in altitude on side roads and forest roads with alternating gradients.

Geheimtipp

If you are traveling by e-bike, you can recharge your batteries at two charging stations in Ilanz.

If you take the PostBus from Ilanz to Flond, Valata or Affeier, you can save between 380 and 590 meters in altitude.

Sicherheitshinweis

The tour should not be undertaken in uncertain weather conditions. Weather changes are frequent in the mountains. If a rain front or similar is approaching during the hike, you should turn back in good time.
