There are currently two routes on the Ochsenkopf. A “family descent” that is relatively easy to master and the main route. It can be classified as a freeride route but also as a classic downhill route - also called “Fichtlriden”.
The trail is very rocky and stony in the upper section and is therefore not easy to manage for everyone. In the middle part the route type changes to more flowing with some natural and built jumps. There is a lot of air time in this passage. The fairytale forest that follows is unfortunately relatively flat, but with a bit of strength in your legs it is very fun and flowy to ride.
In the last section the route is fast, curvy and relatively challenging due to one or two roots, but with flow and a few fun jumps.

You should at least have seen it and decide for yourself how and what you do.
Personally, I find some tracks very great here, which gives me a really good mood.
But there are still so many beautiful tracks around the Ochsenkopf that you should not get stuck in the circus all the time. ;)

Very nice downhill route with various obstacles, difficult areas can be avoided. You have the choice between an easier and a more demanding variant, there is something for everyone.
