The rather challenging route around the picturesque Larochette offers a lot both in terms of scenery and riding technique. Numerous short climbs and some technically demanding sections give this route a particularly sporty character.
The route is marked only in one direction.
Start: Larochette Youth Hostel, but the route also passes the "Auf Kengert" campsite, which would be an alternative starting point.
Directions
From the starting point at Larochette Youth Hostel, the route goes through the valley, past the pond, up onto the plateau. At the Auf Kengert campsite, it goes a short distance (70 meters) along the road and then turns right, first along the forest edge and then again into the forest up to Larochette Castle. From there, the trail leads along the other side of the hill to Verluerekascht with a nice view of the castle. After the Birkelt Village campsite, the Goldbaach is crossed and then it goes down to Meysembuerg Castle. Through the valley of the Manzebaach, it returns to the valley of the White Ernz, where the river is crossed. Along the slopes east of Larochette, it goes back to the starting point.
