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.
Before each ride, check the functionality of brakes, tires and suspension fork/shock absorber. Always ride with hazard awareness and controlled speed and adapt your route choice to the group's riding ability and the surface. The Fair Play rules must be observed at all times. Single/shared trails as well as constructed routes in trail parks and trail centers increasingly feature stones, roots, steep sections, steps and hairpin bends requiring specific riding skills. When in doubt, simply dismount and push your bike.
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.
