    This short route (26 km, 940 metres in altitude) runs exactly the same as the marathon route in the first section. After about 5 km, however, it turns off into the Achtal valley and leads ever so slightly uphill to the south side of the Breitenberg. There it also goes up to 1670 m, just like the long course. Here follows the descent to the finish on the new forest path with its numerous serpentines.
    The route is mainly made up of good forest roads as well as some asphalt paths and single trails.

    Roadbook

    The start for the short route is at 12.15 pm at the Breitenbergbahn car park. Head east on the cycle path next to the B309 federal road, after a few hundred metres in front of the old customs houses you have to turn right onto the field path. Then it goes up to under the cable car line of the Breitenbergbahn (approx. 110 hm). At the fork, we descend again to the right until we meet a tarred path. Here we turn left until just before the main road, where we keep left again ("Krokusweg") and cycle to the car park at the ski lift. We cycle right over the bridge and immediately behind it left, then we follow the Enzianstraße and cycle parallel to the Steinacher Ache until we reach the Gschönweg. There we cross the Ache. Before the Fallmühle, we turn right over the bridge and then left again onto the asphalt road, past the Fallmühle inn, and then immediately left, again over a bridge. After crossing an asphalt road, we continue to follow the cycle path until just before the border signs and then take the turnoff to the left up to the Breitenberg in the direction of the Ostlerhütte/mountain station chairlift (1680 m). From the chairlift, the descent is on the forest path to the already "known" fork under the cable car line, where we turn left in the direction of the valley station/finish.
