The hand-built single trail is surrounded by bright larch forests, lush meadows, and blueberry fields, offering all the ingredients for an impressive nature and landscape experience. It is perfect for gaining first experiences on narrow single trails and getting in touch with easily rideable rock and root sections, without having to expose yourself to challenging terrain or steep slopes. Wide, bike park-typical banked turns and explicit jumps are not to be found here; instead, you will find simple and medium-difficulty obstacles of all kinds such as single roots, root fields, rideable steps, and rock passages requiring proactive riding.
