Rathsberg Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice to let out again before you come back to the city. Often, however, walkers and dogs

At the edge of the forest under Rathsberg along a wonderful hiking trail, which is really recommended for the MTB as a flow trail. No big trouble, just fun. Actually, the path goes much longer than this section suggests.

View from Marloffstein Ridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

The whole Marloffsteiner ridge is in every season, but especially when good visibility prevails worth a trip. You can park on the road near this highlight and then head east …
