Mittagsplatte

The ascent takes place on a mountain road with little traffic and later traverses along a forest path to Unter Valzeina. Another short ascent on a mountain road and you have reached the Mittagsplatte, which lies like an eagle's nest above the Grisons Rhine Valley and offers a magnificent view. For the descent, first ride back a short distance before a relatively steep trail branches off to the left. This is particularly challenging in the upper section and can only be ridden by technically experienced bikers (after 5 - 10 minutes of pushing, however, the trail becomes flatter and easier). It later joins a forest road, which you follow to the village of Zizers. The return trip to Landquart is on the Rhine dam; the section between Zizers and Landquart is on a good trail.
