032 Panoramic tour to the "Tablander Alm" hut

Course: Naturno - Shuttle car park "Kreuzbrünn"l –"Mausloch" hut – "Tablander Alm" hut – start trail n. 4 (Lupotrail) – trail n. 9 (Fontanatrail) – Ciardes - Naturno

We take advantage of the bike shuttle (information available at the tourist office or the Ötzi Bike Shop) that takes us `from` Naturno to the Kreuzbrünnl parking area. From there we start riding on a forest road to the "Mausloch" hut. Just below the hut we keep right on a left hairpin bend to follow the Merano Bike Highline. At some point the forest road turns into a single trail, which at first leads us slightly uphill and then in a constant up and down to the "Tablander Alm" hut. For advanced bikers the single trail is fully passable. Beginners might need to push the bike at some points. Arrived at the "Tablander Alm" hut, we have also reached the highest point of the tour. For the downhill we follow forest road no. 4 and ride past the car park "Schartegg", `where` shortly after, on the right side we can access the single trail no. 4 (Lupotrail). We cross the forest road twice before reaching the asphalt street, we leave the Lupotrail to continue on the asphalt road until the next hairpin bend. There we take trail no. 9 (Fontanatrail), which brings us to the farm "Niedermair". Following the technically demanding "Fontanatrail", we reach the bottom of the valley, `where` we cross the bridge over the "Adige" and turn right to get back to Naturno.
