On the way from Brixen to Mühlbach, you have reached the highest point right here. The other way around, too.

With an MTB, you should come from Natz, then you can ride down to almost the last section and up on the opposite side with an eMTB. In the opposite direction, you have to push uphill to Natz for a whole section, the path is too narrow and steep.

Can only confirm the above comments. Technically very demanding due to a narrow hiking trail with roots and rocks. Bio-bike with some pushing sections, e-bike only on the steep section coming from Rodeneck. We came from the upper entrance path from Rodeneck.

Brixen Cathedral Square is quite large for a medieval town. As the city's ruler, the bishop was always keen to ensure the square remained undeveloped, so as not to obstruct the view of the cathedral and the adjacent bishop's palace. When the emperor passed through in the Middle Ages, he and his entourage could pitch their tents in the spacious square. Even today, processions, celebrations, and important events are held in Cathedral Square. During the Christmas season, the Christmas market is bustling with activity. https://www.brixnerdom.com/dombezirk/domplatz
