After the trail you need to push your bike just to cross one trail and then it goes up the ski slope. After a while you will reach the mountain cottage "Wasserfalleralm". A pathway brings you up to another mountain cottage - the "Kalcheralm". You can return to the hotel on the trail Nr. 13 or on the same path.

You ride to Pardaun and then to Mareta where the tour starts to get into a steeper paste - ride into the valley of Ridanna until the end: Maiern. There you will cross the small river and a nice trail brings you to the mountain pasture "Aglsboden". On your way you can visit the flume "Burkhard" (not accessible with your bike). The tour including the way back is 30 km long.
