Description

The Pfalzau route offers a number of scenic and natural highlights. The route leads through dense, shady forests, which offer a pleasant way to cool off, especially on hot days. There are also beautiful views of the Vienna Woods at higher points. The route is characterized by its quiet and natural atmosphere, away from heavily frequented paths. The varied mix of paved and natural paths is particularly attractive and appeals to both leisure cyclists and sporty mountain bikers.

safety instructions Before each ride, check the functionality of brakes, tires, and suspension fork/damper. Always ride with hazard awareness and controlled speed, and adapt the route choice to the riding skills of the group and the surface. The Fair Play rules must always be observed. Single/shared trails as well as built trails in trail parks and trail centers often have stones, roots, steep sections, steps, and tight bends that require specific riding skills. When in doubt, simply dismount and push the bike.
Equipment A safe and functional mountain bike is a prerequisite for all routes. Helmet and gloves protect against falls and can be supplemented with knee and elbow protectors 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 upwards, a full-suspension bike with modern geometry is recommended. Tools, tire levers, pump, and spare tube help in case of a breakdown. Adequate supplies (drinks and food) should also be carried, as well as a mobile phone and wind/rain jacket.
