    Haben den Track am längsten Tag des Jahres und bei über 30 Grad Temperatur gemacht - teilweise war es recht streng, aber die meisten Aufstiege sind im Wald und im Schatten. Ansonsten: Sehr schöne Tour, abwechslungsreich und gut machbar. Die Schwiergkeitsbewertung ist immer subjektiv, für mich als mittelmässiger Mountainbiker ohne E wärs aber höchstens ein MIttel gewesen. Der Track ist nicht sehr sauber aufgezeichnet, musste ein paar Mal reinzoomen und sehen wo es durchgeht. Wer möchte, kann den gleichen Track mit meiner Aufzeichnung hier runterladen: https://drive.google.com/file/d/193n50WIFvoAa6yc9cr4iaJaKirFl-wB7/view?usp=sharing

    Schöne Route, an der man zeitweise bei klarer Sicht schöne Aussichten hat. Nach dem Aufstieg zum Raten hat es danach tolle Trails. Eine schöne Tour um nach dem Winter langsam wieder in Form zu kommen. Danke für die Tour!

    Sehr schöne Tour von Länge und Höhenmeter her gesehen. Was angänglich gut beginnt, wird mit der Länge immer mehr zähneknirschend akzeptiert. Damit meine ich die vielen Höhemeter die auf Asphalt vernichtet werden. (Gubel-Neuägeri, Cholerhütte-Sattel) Auch nach dem Anstieg ab Rotenthurm lechzen meine Reifen wieder nach Offroad. Varianten wären für nicht Ortskundige und jene die noch einige Körner frei haben, sehr empfehlenswert.

    mittlere und steile Abschnitte sind problemlos zu machen, danach wirst du belohnt mit Aussicht pur. Die angegebene Zeit ist individuell, etwas kurz angegeben.

    Beautiful views of green hills topped with one tree each and big farms. Other trees were about to bloom and other flowers were decorating the green carpet. I did the route following the map. The written indications after Wilersee were not matching signs. I was following Neuheim. There are several points earlier that the one indicated in map to go back to Menzingen. The way has more than half of it with cement. It is very easy, wide, no shade or trees for warm days. A farm with fresh made jogourt and cheese can be found arriving to Menzinger.
