    The Bike Tour starts in Umhausen at the Mure car park (village center). From the starting point you follow slightly rising Roßlachgasse until you reach the "Umhauser Höhenweg" sigpost. Then you follow the broad gravel trail to Niederthai and the hamlet of Höfle. The moderately ascending route leads through idyllic forests. Silence and pure anjoyment await you here, The last part towards the hamlet of Höfle travels on a narrow, steep trail where you may have to push your mountain bike (onlythe sportiest biker can master this stretch). From Höfle you continue downhill to the hamlet of Mühl, past Gasthof Stuibenfall. On the righ you follow a broad gravel trail towards "Alte Niederthaier Straße" and back to Umhausen. Even before you should make a short detour to the Stuibenfall, Tirol's biggest waterfall and awe-inspiring nature spectacle.
