Once at the trailhead, simply follow the trail route and the signposting until the end of the trail.

Riding the trail is only allowed with the necessary protective gear (helmet, glasses, gloves, protectors, and suitable shoes) and a mountain bike appropriate for this type of use!

It is also recommended to carry a working mobile phone for making emergency calls and, of course, for taking photos, a first aid kit, sufficient fluids, and a second suitable person to ride the trail with you.

Similar to ski slopes and hiking trails, approved mountain bike routes and single trails are also divided into levels of difficulty. Essentially, the gradient, hazards, and trail condition determine the classification into very easy, easy, moderate, and difficult trails.

It is recommended to start with the very easy level (green) and to carefully inspect each mountain bike trail beforehand.
