    Roadbook

    The starting point is marked by the large W on wood and immediately leads downhill in flowing curves. Numerous features guide you over stones and flowing curves across the alpine pasture. As soon as you enter the forest again, it continues downhill over rooty sections, small to medium jumps, and numerous curves. Afterwards, you leave the forest and arrive at a wide alpine pasture that must be mastered with large curves.

    You then proceed along a stone-marked path towards the forest road before reaching the Marienseer Schwaig again at the end via a small technical section.

    The entire route covers 2.7 km and 265 m of descent and finally merges back into the Panorama Trails #13 towards Styersberger Schwaig or #14 to Mönichkirchen.
