Hohe Wand Wiese-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 help in case of a flat tire. You should also carry enough food and drink, as well as a cell phone and a windbreaker or rain jacket.

First, we ride along the Wienfluss, then take Kaiser-Josef-Straße onto the B44 and turn left onto Ziegelfeldgasse. After a few meters on the forest road, we turn right uphill and follow the signs to Gablitz. In the town center, we turn right onto Ferdinand Rammler-Straße and ride up into the forest. At the top, we turn right onto the Augustiner Trail. After a challenging descent, we pedal uphill through the Augustinerwald housing development—a real workout—then down into the Wiental valley and back via Wintergasse and the bike path.
