6th MTB Marathon Pfronten - Extreme route

The start is at 9:30 a.m. at the parking lot of the Breitenbergbahn. On the bike path next to the federal road B 309, it goes eastwards, and then to the north-side ascent to the Breitenberg. It goes very steep past the Bergstation of the Breitenbergbahn further to the chairlift station at 1670 m. Here follows the south-side descent into the Achtal. Then we ride slightly downhill out of the Achtal and along the Achtalstraße to the entrance of Pfronten-Steinach. Here the route merges with the 53 km marathon route. We turn left into "Kienbergstrasse". We follow this to the village pond, then we turn left onto "Bläsesweg", which we follow to "Bläsismühle". We turn left onto "Rappenschrofenweg" to a wooden bridge, cross it on the right and then immediately turn right onto "Vilstalstraße". At the fork, we turn left uphill to Pfronten-Halden. Following "Edelsbergweg", we keep towards Pfronten-Kappel. At the edge of the town, after a new residential area, at the fork we turn left towards Pfronten-Kappel. There we cycle to the parking lot at the forest rope park, where the ascent to "Kappeler Alm" begins. We continue towards "Sportheim Böck", then further towards Edelsberg to "Fichtelhütte". Now a long descent towards "Vilstal" awaits us (always stay on the main path). At the end of the descent, at the timber storage/paddock, we turn left onto Vilstalstraße towards Pfronten (eastern direction). At the already "known" wooden bridge, we cross on the right and then immediately turn left. After about 150 m, we ride right uphill towards Himmelreich/Bärenmoos. At approx. 1250 m altitude, we take the left fork downhill and ride towards Achtal (difficult descent). We do not turn right upwards to Bärenmoosalpe! After the descent, behind the first bridge, we turn left, then right after the second bridge. We continue on the bike path to just before the border signs and then take the left fork uphill to Breitenberg towards Ostlerhütte/chairlift station (1680 m). From the chairlift, the descent follows on the forest road to the already known fork below the cable car, where it turns left towards the valley station/finish.
