Steinwandklamm-Strecke

Before every ride, check that the brakes, tires, and suspension fork/shock are in good working order. Always ride with an eye out for hazards and at a controlled speed, and choose a route that suits the group’s riding ability and the terrain. The Fair Play rules must be observed at all times. Single/shared trails, as well as built trails in trail parks and trail centers, often feature rocks, roots, steep sections, steps, and sharp turns that require a certain level of riding skill. If in doubt, simply dismount and walk your bike.

A safe and roadworthy mountain bike is a prerequisite for all routes. A helmet and gloves provide protection in the event of a fall, and knee and elbow pads can be added when riding on single/shared trails. A modern mountain bike with disc brakes and sufficient tire tread is recommended. For single and shared trails rated red or higher, a full-suspension bike with modern geometry is recommended. Tools, a tire lever, a pump, and a spare tube will come in handy in case of a flat tire. You should also carry plenty of food and drink, as well as a cell phone and a windbreaker or rain jacket.

In Berndorf, we cycle up to Wasserturmweg, which merges straight ahead into Weinbergweg and leads us toward Steinhof, then turns right toward Pöllau. Passing the inn on the left, we enter the forest and turn left toward Waxeneckhaus. Then we head down to Hals, where we cross the L138 and push our bikes for the first 100 meters before cycling uphill toward the Jagasitz Inn. There, we turn right down the Steinwandgraben to Schromenau and continue to the left of the stream, past Maierhof. At km 24, we turn left up the Niemthal and then descend to Weißenbach. From there, we follow first the railroad tracks and then the Triesting River to Pottenstein. We head back to Berndorf via the Urhaussiedlung to the L138 and Hochstraße.
