Mountain bike tour Starting from Purkersdorf
The easy family tour can be spiced up with a climb to the Feuerstein in the Deutschwald forest and a visit to the Purkersdorf-Sandstein Nature Park. This turns the short bike tour into a day-long hike experience including contact with deer and wild boar.

The Dambach route is a family-friendly mountain bike tour in the Vienna Woods with a length of 11.4 kilometers and an elevation gain of 145 m. A special highlight is the possibility to combine the tour with a hike to the Feuerstein in the Deutschwald and a visit to the Purkersdorf-Sandstein Nature Park, where you can encounter deer and wild boar.
Before each ride, check the functionality of brakes, tires, and suspension fork/shock absorber. Always ride with hazard awareness and controlled speed, adapting the route choice to the riding ability of the group and the surface. The Fair Play rules must always be observed. Single/shared trails as well as constructed trails in trail parks and trail centers often have stones, roots, steep sections, steps, and sharp turns that require certain riding skills. When in doubt, simply dismount and push the bike.
A safe and reliable mountain bike is a prerequisite for all routes. Helmet and gloves protect in case of falls and can be extended by knee and elbow guards 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 along with a phone and wind/rain jacket.
