Details for: Hameau route

Brief description

Varied and challenging route with some trail sections and wet spots for real mountain bikers. Sophienalpe guarantees a view of the city and the Vienna Woods, and the idyllic Hameau meadow invites a short break.

Description

The ongoing maintenance of this route is supported by MOUNTAINBIKER.at.

The idyllic Schwarzenbergpark, the Hameau clearing, the exciting single trails down to Schützengraben, the gliding section over Sophienalpe, and the descent from there to Grüner Jäger as well as the challenging traverse from Rieglerhütte to Amundsenstraße make this route a varied after-work ride.

Those who want to avoid the very steep push section after Kasgraben will find the ideal shortcut with the connecting path between Dianabründl and Jägerwaldsiedlung.

Equipment

A safe and functional mountain bike is a prerequisite for all routes. Helmet and gloves protect against falls and can be supplemented by knee and elbow pads on 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, a full-suspension bike with modern geometry is recommended. Tools, tire levers, pump, and spare tube help in case of a breakdown. Sufficient supplies (drinks and food) should also be carried, as well as a mobile phone and wind/rain jacket.

Safety information

Before every outing, check the functionality of brakes, tires, and suspension fork/shocks. Always ride with hazard awareness and controlled speed and adjust route choice to the riding skills of the group and the surface. The Fair Play rules must always be observed. Single/shared trails and built routes in trail parks and trail centers often feature stones, roots, steep sections, steps, and steep turns that require specific riding skills. In case of doubt, simply dismount and push the bike.
