Burgentour

46 km, difficult MTB route, some steep climbs and challenging trails. Highly worthwhile, as there are historic sites, magnificent views, and perfect stopping points for refreshments! A demanding tour around Viechtach with many ascents and some singletrail sections. Additionally, there are great views and cultural highlights with the many castle ruins along the route. Start at the train station in Viechtach, heading counterclockwise. The first meters follow the 'Schwarzer Regen' river to Schwalsteins. From there, it ascends in stages nearly 300 meters to the Neunußberg ruins. This is the ideal spot for a first rest on the tour. From Oberbretterschachten, there's a steep descent down to the dam of the 'Schwarzer Regen', which we cross via the dam wall and then begin a partly very steep climb through the forest up to the Altnußberg ruins. In addition to the great view, you are rewarded with a beautiful trail down to Rannersdorf. After Rannersdorf, you need to gather all your strength one more time to get up to Kollnburg. From there, it is almost all downhill back to Viechtach. Due to the many climbs, this tour should not be underestimated.
