Troppberg-Strecke II

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 Playrules 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.

In Laabach, we head toward Tullnerbach, where we turn left onto Lichteichenstraße to ride up to the Hüttenkogel and then down, along the railroad tracks, to Purkersdorf. We take the B44, pass the Kellerwiese on the right, cross the railroad tracks, and ride up Karlgasse to Buchberg. Once at the top, we turn left onto the forest road and, after 3 km, turn left again to head down to Gablitz on Hauersteiggasse. Here, we turn right to ride to the left of the stream and the B1, past Allhang, back to the starting point.
