Dornröschen-Trail

Notes: The Sleeping Beauty Trail replaces the former upper section of the Schönstatt Trail, which is no longer open to riders due to the newly established urn forest! As a specially designed replacement trail with more elevation gain and trail length, it offers plenty of riding fun. Warning: This trail is challenging and should only be ridden by experienced MTB riders! Please adjust your speed accordingly!!

Before every ride, check that your 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 your route based on 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, feature an increased number of 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.

Note: New route for the Schönstatt Trail due to the Urnenwald
The Schönstatt Trail has been rerouted, and riding on the previous paths is therefore prohibited. A forest cemetery has been established at this location as a final resting place, and it must be respected at all times! Instead, the challenging Dornröschen Trail has been newly constructed and connects to the Schönstatt Trail below the Kahlenbergerdorf section. Alternatively, these trails can also be reached north (to the right) of the Schönstatt Trail via a short push section.

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 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.
