Chall Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Challpass is an unspectacular curve with a parking lot or postbus turning point on a busy main road. Nevertheless far and wide one of the few possibilities to cross the blue chain in north-south direction or vice versa.

One of the best tours for a gravel bike I've done in a long time! Some climbs, some steep, rapid descents on well-mobile forest and gravel paths away from traffic. Great views and a varied landscape. I can warmly recommend this tour to anyone who likes to drive on gravel!
