Starting from the city center and escaping from all the fuss going for a fast loop in the lower part of Nordkette can elevate one's spirits. On both perfectly maintained gravel and asphalt roads ascending towards the historical district of Mühlau leads you North East of Innsbruck.

Going downhill on asphalt leads you back to Mühlau bridge and back to the cycling path towards the city center. Take a break on the riverside, benches and some green areas are on the way back to town.

The perfect loop for a fast training session, or for relaxing and escaping from the city when you don’t have much time. Either way, a gravel bike, a cross-country or an enduro one will work fine for this fast experience!

During Crankworx Innsbruck, this is a recommended route for testing the bikes available at the exhibitor booths in the Expo Area. Take them for a fast ride on all the different terrains this route offers and start comparing them, time for decisions!
