Krambambuli Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The 650m long route with difficulty level S2 is quite challenging. The trail is partly blocked with beautiful drops and is nice to ride; the trail is well integrated into the terrain and runs from the Platte to the Steinwaldpilz.

The game reserve at the Waldhaus is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists. Shortly before the Waldhaus hut you can admire several hinds and a stag in an enclosure. There is a large playground next door.

Yesterday I walked to the Waldhaus. I could see that it would be great on a bike too.
I just had to go up to the plateau. A short snowstorm couldn't stop me.
And the trails are surprisingly good to ride. Every now and then there are really slippery roots - but otherwise it was fine 😅
