Description

Characteristics
The Langental, to the north-east of Wolkenstein, is part of the Puez-Geisler nature park and impresses with its steeply towering rock faces on both sides and the beautiful head of the valley with the Pra da Ri mountain pasture. The toned-down version of the tour into the Langental is the ideal introductory tour for first-time mountain bikers or for families. It is toned-down because the tour does not go into the upper Langental, but only just as far as the mouth of the valley. The route follows side roads with little traffic and easy gravel and woodland trails.
From the start at the tourism association in Wolkenstein you go first of all to the valley station of Dantercepies. The route leads from there in a northerly direction, more downhill than uphill, until, at the mouth of the valley, you reach the car park with refreshment facilities.
The route suggested here only takes you about one kilometre and a good 50m in altitude difference into the Langental. Bikers, who find that this is not enough, can extend the tour as desired by following the cross-country ski route further uphill. It does not finish until the beginning of Pra da Ri mountain pasture. You cannot go further by bike. The way back takes you first of all to the car park again and then on the narrow access road down to the Langental and the cycle path west of Wolkenstein.
On this cycle path, once the railway line into the Gardena valley, you cycle gently uphill back to the starting point of the tour at the hotel.
