long epic alpine trail winding from the peak of Kopflplatte to Spondinig...1700m of pleasure.

the first part from the summit to the beginning of the wood is an easy single track on alpine meadown rocky terrain.
the second part, at the beginning of the wood is a very steep, narrow offcamber section on a very grippy and loamy soil with some tight switchbacks.
After this section the trail becomes basically super flowy and fast, always on good loamy soil.

Access Info

the access is long and painful: from spondinig you need to traverse on trail first and fireroads till Allitz to then take a road bringing you to Tanas.
From Tanas follow the fireroad leading to the Tanaser Stierhutte. From here push or carry your bike till the summit following the long trail traversing south

      Fatto oggi, non è un granché, la prima parte della discesa anche bella con panorami sulla vallata, la sezione intermedia con tornanti da noose press e un passaggio difficile e molto stretto.
      Poi banale sentiero/carraia. L'ultimo tratto dopo le case riprende la carraia, interessante solo l'ultimo tratto prima della stazione, anche se ci sono rilanci da fare a piedi.
      Come ha detto il ragazzo prima....se non hai più altri sentieri da fare, questa può essere un' opzione.

      I’m a bit torn on that trail - it’s got an epic summit with beautiful views on a deserted hillside. The description is spot on: top section meadowy (but hard to find sometimes Smile , then a very tricky steep and tight wood section (definitely black s2, maybe 3 in two spots), then the trail turns very much into a steep straight line. Although on dreamy soil with short cool sections, but all in all a lot of braking down straights.
      To sum up: Very cool Tour if you’ve already seen all the other trails in the region Wink
      Uphill is long but moderately steep. From Tenaser Stierhuette you have to walk the bike on very narrow cowpaths and short rocky sections. We carried the bikes most of the time.
      Gasthof Paflur (start of the fireroad) is the last spot to get water / food. There are a couple of uncharted river crossings to the top, but no springs

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
