This round is next to the Dörferlauf (variant 2) the most demanding of the marked routes. It starts at the fire department Bairisch Kölldorf (largest fire truck in the world) and leads over several very steep ascents and descents, for example to the Albrechtshöhe, where a lookout tower is ideal for a short break, or over Absetz. Here, in good weather, the view extends to Kapfenstein and beyond. From here on, the path largely descends. This route leads us alternately over gravel and asphalt. Through the Eichgraben and the Schaufelgraben the ground is partly earthy and especially in autumn covered with leaves. Bairisch Kölldorf 2 is a very nice walking route and only suitable for very well trained as a running route.

Enjoy the view at the Parapluie at the lookout!
