Mountain bike - hut route at Randen near Tengen

The route marked with the slogan "Vulkan Genuss Hegau" starts at the large parking lot at the festival grounds in Tengen. Enjoying the landscape and the views is the focus of this route. It is suitable for families with children in terms of difficulty and length. The small town of Tengen is the starting point of a family-friendly mountain bike route over the heights of the Randen. At first, the mountain bike route does not seem very spectacular, as it first goes downhill to the district of Blumenfeld. Shortly before Blumenfeld, the Föhrle hut invites you to take the first break. Until its incorporation in 1972, Blumenfeld was considered one of the smallest towns in Germany and is certainly worth a small detour. Further downhill it goes down to the next stage Beuren am Ried, the southernmost point of the route. Attention: In the small district of Tengen, the federal road B314 must be crossed. From there, strength and stamina are required. It goes uphill and in the forest above Beuren stands the next hut, the Brodlosenhütte. A break would also be possible here. From now on it goes uphill on a forest road in the shady forest. You cross the connecting road Blumenfeld - Weil to the left and shortly afterwards return to the right into the forest. At the forest exit, it goes left along the forest edge until shortly before Weil, another district of Tengen. Via Weil, it goes up to the heights to the Willberg, just before Watterdingen. The views down into the Hegau are just as spectacular as the view in the opposite direction, up to the Alten Postweg. That is where the route will lead, the highest point of this route. After a short descent down to Watterdingen and a right turn, the last big climb follows up to the Alten Post Weg. The last big climb on partly paved, partly gravel roads leads to the ridge of the Alten Postweg. The high ridge trail runs there almost without major inclines, with magnificent views into the Hegau and, in clear weather, to the Alps from east to west. The Altepostweghütte and the Spitzhütte lie directly on the path. There is also the possibility to break off the route there again. From here it goes downhill again, past the Lochhütte and down to Tengen to the festival grounds, the starting point of the route.
