Description
The Schottenhof route is a natural mountain bike tour in the Vienna Woods that stretches over 10.64 kilometers and climbs 259 meters in altitude. The route is characterized by varied trail conditions. A special highlight is the Schottenhof, a historic manor house that was originally built in 1840 as a residence for the forest warden of the Schottenwald and is now a popular excursion destination with a restaurant and riding stables. The route also offers some appealing single trails and leads past gourmet huts that invite you to stop for a bite to eat. Thanks to its easy accessibility and suitability for different skill levels, the tour is ideal for a short but rewarding ride in the great outdoors.
- Equipment A safe and functioning mountain bike is a prerequisite for all routes. Helmet and gloves protect in case of falls and can be complemented with knee and elbow protectors for 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 up, a full suspension bike with modern geometry is recommended. Tools, tire levers, pump and spare tube help in case of a breakdown. Enough provisions (drinks and food) should also be carried along with a mobile phone and wind/rain jacket.
