Hirschengarten route

Attention! Due to forestry work in the Hahnbaumberg area, the route is temporarily closed!

Before each ride, check the functionality of brakes, tires, and suspension fork/shock. Always ride with hazard awareness and controlled speed, and adjust route choice to the group's riding skill and the terrain. The Fair Play rules must be observed at all times. Single/shared trails as well as built routes in trail parks and trail centers feature increased stones, roots, steep sections, steps, and banked turns that require certain riding skills. When in doubt, simply get off and push the bike.

A safe and functional mountain bike is a requirement for all routes. Helmet and gloves protect you in case of falls and can be supplemented with knee and elbow guards on single/shared trails. A modern mountain bike with disc brakes and adequate tire tread is recommended. For single and shared trails from the red difficulty level, a full suspension bike with modern geometry is recommended. Tools, tire levers, pump, and spare tube help in case of a breakdown. Sufficient provisions (drinks and food) should also be carried along with a mobile phone and wind/rain jacket.
