Klammhöhe-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 come in handy in case of a flat tire. You should also carry plenty of food and drink, as well as a cell phone and a windbreaker or rain jacket.

The Klammhöhe route, a mix of challenging sections and very scenic stretches, begins with a 15.3-km climb to the Schöpfl, the highest peak in the Vienna Woods. This ascent is rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view stretching from the Ötscher over Vienna to the Schneeberg. An exciting downhill ride takes you back down to Klammhöhe, where the next challenging singletrack awaits, leading up to the Gföhlberghütte. Down to Laaben and back to the start—you’ve made it.
