The Gravel Cracker is not a competition; currently, 3 nice routes are offered, which can be comfortably managed in 2 or 3 days. Those who like it very sporty can also ride the total 137 kilometers in one "ride." Whether on a short round or as an all-day route, there is pure gravel enjoyment in the footsteps of the Nutcracker, who is given as a cool pendant to every starter as a souvenir. The predefined routes, which adventurous and experience-hungry gravel bikers can take on their own under the profile tires, each have their own character; they are partially signposted but in any case navigable by GPS. The only 23-kilometer-long but also technically demanding "Panorama Loop" goes over 6 mountains around Seiffen, offers finest views, and is suitable as an introduction to a nice gravel weekend. This is followed by the 43 km long Seiffen route, with 870 hm less "crunchy" and also technically easy to ride. The "Trainline" leads as an out-and-back route from Seiffen partly over an old railway line to the Kahleberg near Altenberg and back. Here, on 71 km with 1220 hm, there is almost exclusively finest gravel. The Gravel Cracker is thus worth considering for all who want to actively experience Seiffen and the surroundings, be sporty and versatile with the bike on the road – whether paved, gravel, or on forest and meadow paths.
