    The Elgg Trail is a round route starting from the picturesque town of Elgg with extensive trail sections. 

    Schauenberg

    The first single trail starts below Schauenberg. After a short, gentle "flowing" start, the first steeper curves follow. A root section closes the first of 3 single trail sections. The route continues on a paved road to Scheunberg.

    Scheunberg

    Winding and in steep terrain, the second single trail leads in the direction of Hofstetten. Small built-in drops and tight hairpin bends alternate. In difficult sections, the route offers a bypass, called "chickeline." The trail ends above Hofstetten. The route continues on a rural path towards Guegenhard.

    Guegenhard

    The single trail at Guegenhard is characterized by its extremely varied and natural line guidance. The trail offers maximum riding pleasure for beginners, children, and experienced bikers alike.
