6th MTB Marathon Pfronten - extreme course

The start is at 9.30 am at the Breitenbergbahn car park. Head east on the cycle path next to the B 309 federal road, and then to the north-facing climb up the Breitenberg. The route is very steep, passing the top station of the Breitenbergbahn cable car on the way to the top station of the chairlift at 1670m. Here follows the south-facing descent into the Achtal valley. We then ride slightly downhill out of the Achtal and along the Achtal road to the entrance of Pfronten-Steinach. Here the route joins the 53 km marathon route. We turn left into the "Kienbergstrasse". Follow this road until you reach the village pond, where you turn left onto the "Bläsesweg", which you follow until you reach the "Bläsismühle". We turn left onto the "Rappenschrofenweg" until we reach a wooden footbridge, turn right over the footbridge and then right again onto the "Vilstalstraße". At the junction we turn left up to Pfronten-Halden. Follow the "Edelsbergweg" in the direction of Pfronten-Kappel. At the end of the village, after a new development area, we turn left at the fork towards Pfronten-Kappel. There we cycle to the car park at the forest ropes course, where the ascent to the "Kappeler Alm" begins. We continue in the direction of "Sportheim Böck", then further towards Edelsberg to the "Fichtelhütte". Now a long descent awaits us in the direction of "Vilstal" (always stay on the main path). At the end of the descent, we turn left at the timber yard/livestock gate onto the Vilstal road towards Pfronten (east direction). At the already "well-known" wooden footbridge, we cycle right over it and then immediately left. After approx. 150 m we cycle up to the right in the direction of Himmelreich/Bärenmoos. At an altitude of approx. 1250 m, we take the turn-off down to the left and cycle in the direction of Achtal (difficult descent). We do not turn right up to the Bärenmoosalpe! After the descent we turn left after the first bridge, then right after the second bridge. We continue along 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, descend on the forest path to the already known fork under the cable car line, there turn left in the direction of the valley station/finish.
