Schnabelberg singletrail

Description

Once you have mastered the challenging, asphalted ascent (5km, 500m) to the Schnabelberg single trail, you will be rewarded with a playful trail and the best views. It tests its bikers with tight bends right at the start before a clearing offers a fantastic view of Waidhofen, the Sonntagberg and deep into the Ybbstal Alps. Some high berms on a wide meadow characterize the following section up to the mountain rescue hut, where you can take a short break and recharge your batteries for the difficult second part. This section, which can also be ridden as a short version, requires maximum concentration, balance and riding skills between roots, small ramps and steep bends before you reach the marble bike course at the end of the trail.

Route description Schnabelberg singletrail

From the junction of Redtenbachstraße, Schnabelbergstraße (Landeshauptmann Steinböck-Straße) leads 5 km uphill with gradients partly over 15%, exactly 5 km and 500 m elevation gain, up to the Hahnlreith parking lot. There, the Schnabelberg singletrail begins with initially 1 km along the forest road and then turns half-left into the terrain. From there, follow the marked trail. About halfway, you reach the mountain rescue hut. After two-thirds of the route, you come back onto the asphalt road (caution when exiting the forest!!!) and then turn right to the last (most difficult) section of the Schnabelberg trail. Shortly before the end, there is a short narrow uphill section before the finish at the junction with the asphalt road.
