Brandwald-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 or shared trails. A modern mountain bike with disc brakes and sufficient tire tread is recommended. For single and shared trails rated red difficulty or higher, a full-suspension bike with modern geometry is recommended. Tools, a tire lever, a pump, and a spare inner tube will help in case of a flat tire. You should also carry enough food and drink, as well as a cell phone and a windbreaker or rain jacket.

From Neustift, we drive up Hochfeldstraße and into the forest. After a few meters, we turn left at a large intersection onto a new route and follow the signs. After a few hundred meters of partly steep uphill climbing, the path levels off at the top, and we rejoin the original route on a beautiful forest trail all the way to Brandhäusl. There, we turn right toward Trainst, where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the region. Alternating between forest and meadows, the road takes us via Gießhübel and Gumpersberg back to Außerfurth, where we leisurely cycle along the Laabental Bike Trail beside the Laabenbach stream back to the starting point.
