Knight Rider

The ascend starts behind the Eggenberg Castle at the corner of Baiernstraße 24 – Jägersteig and follows the forest road to the Fürstenwarteweg. Once there, you follow the further course of the Plabutscherstraße to the left, and signposts will lead you to the starting point.

The start and the course of the trail are well marked. Finally, the technical single trail leads back down to Eggenberg Castle in Graz. You can expect fast traverses, root sections, stone passages, steep sections, and everything else that determines a decent single trail. If one descent is not enough, you can cycle back up to the starting point at the end of the trail.

The trail is not suitable for beginners and requires ambitious riding technique and very good bike control!

Start: Plabutscherstraße II, 8052 Graz
Ziel: Baiernstraße 24 – Eggenberg

This trail is perfect for anyone who is comfortable riding forest roads but wants to venture into more challenging terrain. On this trail, you will find small obstacles such as flat roots and small stones on moderate to medium-steep terrain which is perfect to improve your riding.

Sweet potato trail

The sweet potato trail is located in Kalkleiten in the municipality of Stattegg submontane the Schöckel. The downhill trail was opened during the Enduro ÖM and is considered to be very technical. Furthermore, the trail has a very natural style as the terrain is not majorly adapted. You can expect root passages, tight corners, rocky sections, and narrowings. As a result, the trail is the perfect place for you to take your riding to the next level.

Start: Kalkleitenstraße 14 – following a meadow path into the forest
Ziel: Lässerhof – Stattegger Straße – Graz St. Veith
