7,25 km length
Interesting singletrail winding near the Rudolfshöhe through the beautiful mixed forest of the Probstwald.
The moderately difficult S1 singletrail leads varied from the Draxelhofer Anhöhe down 250 vertical meters to the aqueduct near Schauching. The ground is mostly earthy forest soil with some roots and stones. When wet, the trail is somewhat more difficult to ride. There are a few tighter turns and steeper sections.
Starting point of the tourDraxelhofer Anhöhe, Pyhra
Destination point of the tourParking lot at the aqueduct near Schauching
From the parking lot at the aqueduct near Schauching, we follow the road towards Hinterholz. In Hinterholz, we turn left onto the Raffelsberg farm road. We continue on this until the asphalt turns into a forest road.
Then we continue on the forest road until a short, technically more demanding, rooty section where the uphill trail runs on the left side (see signage), until we reach the Draxelhofer Anhöhe.
The singletrail downhill starts directly next to the uphill and leads through the forest. We cross the forest road several times (please watch out for other vehicles), at times also follow the forest road, and after the last section of the trail, continue back on the forest road to the parking lot.
From St. Pölten, take the direction from Schauching towards Hinterholz until the aqueduct.

Helmet mandatory, additional protectors are recommended.
Before every ride, check the functionality of brakes, tires, and suspension fork/damper.
Safety informationThe uphill leads only via the road or forest road via Hinterholz, not on the forest road on which you return to the parking lot between/after the trail sections.
Attention, when wet, the difficulty of the trail increases due to the partly root- and stone-covered ground.
Singletrails commonly have more stones, roots, steep sections, steps, and sharp turns that require specific riding skills. If in doubt, simply dismount and push the bike. Singletrail experience recommended. Always ride with hazard awareness and controlled speed and adjust route choice to the skill level of the group and the ground conditions. Fair play rules must always be observed.
