Metzeral

Highlight • Settlement

A small town in the Münstertal, but one that is well-developed for tourism and offers everything you could possibly want on a mountain bike tour. So: water, snacks or even a restaurant to stop at. The little detour is worth it if you want to replenish your energy reserves.

Munster Protestant Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Protestant church is one of Munster's landmarks.
It was built from 1867 to 1873 on the site of the old church, which had become too small.

Views over the Munster valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cycle path and small roads between Metzeral and Munster offer lovely views. This is where the valley is at its narrowest. Don't hesitate to climb a little higher for an even more beautiful panorama.
