Tulbinger-Kogel 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 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.

We start at the Mauerbach Charterhouse, pass the cemetery, and follow the Pitzelsdorfer Steig through the forest to Tullnerstr. From there, we first cycle along Weidlingbach Street and “Am Steinriegel” toward Windischhütte, then turn left onto Oberkirchbacher Street just before it and reach Ober- and Unterkirchbach. There we join the Hängender Stein route, which we follow through Hainbuch past the Tulbinger Kogel, then keep left toward Passauerhof, from where we coast leisurely back to Mauerbach via the Hirschengarten.
