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.

Proper backpack packing makes many things easier: Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within reach in a side pocket. All the things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit, including blister plasters, belongs in every rucksack and it is always advisable to dress in layers.
