Marchkinkele Round Tour (042)

The tour starts at Toblach train station heading north and passes by the Wahlen district into the Silvester valley. Initially on an asphalt road, later on a gravel path through the forest. This forest road gently ascends to the Silvesteralm (1,800m), which is located amidst alpine meadows. Behind the alm, the tour leads on the right side back into the forest and uphill to Bodeneck (1,805m). From there, an old military road from World War I branches off to the left and ascends in switchbacks, initially through the forest, later with views of the Dolomite peaks, up to the Strickberg. Most of the ascent is done; it's not far to the Marchkinkele (2,545m). The descent begins along the same path back to Bodeneck, from where the round tour continues eastward downhill to the mountain farms "Jaufen" and further to Winnebach. From there, the Pustertal bike route leads westward to Innichen and further to Toblach, back to the starting point.
