    Schöne Abwechslungsreiche Strecke und Mix aus flachen Rad und Feldwegen als auch Waldwegen und Singletrails. Bin die Strecke mit Alternativ-Start ab Hornstein gefahren um die Singletrail Abfahrten als krönenden Abschluss zu haben und auch aufgrund der Parkmöglichkeit nähe des Friedhofs zur Anfahrt mit dem Auto. Meine Tour beinhaltet zusätzlich noch die Buchkogelwarte und Aussichtswarte Sonnenberg! Macht euch am besten selbst ein Bild von der Strecke – entweder mit dem angehängten Timelapse-Video oder der Playlist der kompletten Tour in Echtzeit auf meinem YouTube-Kanal: https://www.youtube.com/@RideChargeRepeat Dort findet ihr auch Details sowie fehlerkorrigierte GPX/KML oder FIT-Files.

    Hervorragende Markierung bis zur Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Warte (Dank an die Naturfreunde!), danach durch Verwitterung teilweise schlecht sichtbare Markierungen bis zur Buchkogelwarte, jedoch mit der gebotenen Aufmerksamkeit bei Abzweigungen (noch) ausreichend.
