- 4.5 (9)·Hard·28.1 mi·Est. 12–13 hrAfter starting in Eschenlohe, it goes straight through the Eschenlainetal, then over the Simetsberg up to the Walchensee lookout point. Then with the trail option down to Wallgau. From there you bike up into the picturesque Finztal valley, to reward your effort with a stop at the Esterbegalm.

The final downhill trail that follows is largely rideable.
