Roppersberg-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.

Head northeast on Liesinger Str. and, after 3.3 km, turn right onto a forest road, then 300 m later, you’ll reach the Laaber Steig. At the top, turn left onto the forest road, continue past the Lainzer Tiergarten, and turn left onto the Laaber Trail. At the Laaber Gate, turn right, then after 100 m turn right again onto the forest road and continue straight ahead to Roppersberg and onto Laaber Str. B13. After 300 m on this road, turn right again onto the forest road to complete the loop.
