Description
The Ysperklamm route (in conjunction with the Leithenpanoramatour) ideally connects all three mountain bike hosts in the Waldviertel and is also located on the Waldviertler Granittrail, which leads from Gmünd on the Czech border to Persenbeug on the Danube. In other words, ideal conditions for a whole MTB weekend in the Waldviertel.
- safety instructions Make sure when choosing the route that it matches your fitness level. Check whether the gastronomy businesses you want to visit along the way are open. Pack your mobile phone and map material in your backpack.
- Equipment Helmet, suitable clothing and footwear, rain and sun protection, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient provisions (snack, muesli bars, fruit, water).
- Route description After a few hundred meters the route leads onto a forest path. This is not particularly difficult, only after heavy rain it turns into deep terrain (which does not shake anyone) up to Gutenbrunn. Then follows an about 3 km long partly quite rough downhill. The last kilometers lead at very high speed on asphalt into the village of Gmaining and uphill again to the sawmill. Another three km uphill on a paved forest road (partly 18% gradient). After climbing almost 400 m, it goes with short alternating inclines and descents past the Pfaffensteg and Schlesinger ponds back to Bärnkopf!
- Parking Parking is possible at the Kirchenwirt or at the Bärnkopf tourist office.
- Getting there A1 - Exit Ybbs on the Danube, Danube bridge, B36 to Laimbach, then via Gutenbrunn to Bärnkopf
- Editor’s tip The Schlesingerteich offers a perfect cooling on warmer days.
