The perfect short route with lots of trail meters for a relaxed day on the bike with friends. If you want to take a break along the way, the best place to stop is the Herrgottschnitzer Hut.
Description
Uphill: Start from the trail center via the Uphill Flowtrail (uphill single trail, narrow mountain bike uphill route with roots and stones in places) and then from the reservoir via forest roads (trail with loose ground) and the Kampsteiner Schwaig route to the start of the Almrauschtrail (8a).
Downhill trails: First take the Almrauschtrail (blue/easy) over roots and soft forest floor down to the Almrauschhütte.
Here you can take a break for a drink, fill up your water bottles or leave a few euros for the landlord Lois to cool your drinks in the fountain.
Then you start the upper part of the single trail - which winds its way down in bends over roots, stones and steep sections. If this is still too difficult for you, you can also roll down the forest road. After a few bends - still a good way above the reservoir - you come to the forest road towards Herrgottschnitzer Huts, which you can turn right onto and comfortably ride a few meters up to Herrgottschnitzer Huts.
The Herrgottschnitzer Trail starts from there and meets up with the single trail again at the end.
Finally, it's back down via the single trail.

Author's tip
Tip: From the lift mountain station you can also branch off on an easy flow trail at the end or if you are already very technically advanced riders: start on the jumpline (jumpskillz required!) or the downhill line (black/difficult & for experts only).
