Schottenhof route

Before each ride, check the functionality of brakes, tires and suspension fork/shock absorber. Always ride with hazard awareness and controlled speed and adapt your route choice to the group's riding ability and the surface. The Fair Play rules must be observed at all times. Single/shared trails as well as constructed routes in trail parks and trail centers increasingly feature stones, roots, steep sections, steps and hairpin bends requiring specific riding skills. When in doubt, simply dismount and push your bike.

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

We start from Schwarzenbergallee at the statue of Ares Ludovisi on a trail towards Hanslteich. Passing Hanslteich and turning right on Amundsenstraße, then sharply left at the parking lot onto a trail leading to Rieglerhütte. There we cycle back on Karl-Bekehrty Straße continuing on Amundsenstraße. We go about 200 m uphill and then right onto a trail up to Schottenhof and then downhill again, parallel to the road. Passing Hanslteich, we cycle back to Schwarzenbergallee.
