7. EMTB BIKETOUR TO THE MALGA UWALD IN VAL CASIES

Start from the Bike Hotel Alpenblick****s on the cycle path to San Candido (1,150), from there continue along the cycle path along the River Drava until Dobbiaco, (1,210) up to the railway station. Pass the railway station to the main road, cross this and cycle for about 2 km on the cycle path towards Brunico. After the railway underpass turn right towards Dobbiaco Alta, following the Stoneman sign continue into the Silvestro Valley, passing the Rifugio Genziana, from there continue to the first fork where you then turn left towards Frondeigen (1,600). Continue along the forest path into the Val Casies towards Oberplanken. In Oberplanken, cycle between the farms and continue for around 400 m to the provincial road. Cross the road and follow the forest road on the other side of the valley. Follow the signs and again cross the B-road near to S. Martino (1,277 m) and continue to the sports ground. Now ignore the cycle path signposts and follow the side road on the right-hand side of the valley, which leads directly to the Rifugio Fondo Valle (1,465 m). Turn right before the bridge (signposted Malga Uwald Hut) and follow the tarmacked road for a few hundred metres to the start of the forestry road. Keep left at the fork to Pfoialm and cycle along an extremely steep section up to the Malga Uwald Hut (2,042 m). It's worthwhile stopping for a hearty bite to eat here. The way back is along the same path to Oberplanken, continue along the cycle path, past the Kohlerhof farm up to Unterplanken. Down into the valley until Durnwald, past the Untersinnerhof farm and along the castle route to Monguelfo. From Monguelfo on the bicycle path towards Villabassa, Dobbiaco, San Candido back to the Bike Hotel Alpenblick ****s in Sesto along the same route.
