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 trail from the Oberpfalzturm to Fichtelnaab is only blocked at the top. The rest goes, albeit with counter-increases.
Before Pfaben I somehow couldn't find the trail in the leaves and at km 23.5 there was no way through felled trees. The bike had to be carried a little through the dark forest.

Unfortunately it rained the whole time, which didn't make things any easier. The many leaves on the roots and stones also made it really exciting. But hey...you learn …

Steiwald, yes....I've always wanted to go there. Somehow something always came up or it just didn't fit. But this time the time had finally come...Fabi gave me a suitable route.
After a few meters I also knew where the forest got its name from.....just awesome here.
I come here often......no question.
Thanks again to Fabi for the suggestion.

Finally, I headed to the Steinwald forest today for inspiration.
What can I say: MEGA
Awesome S3 trails.
First, an 8 km approach to the Platte, where a fantastic S3 immediately follows, followed by an S2 trail with a few small climbs.
Then to the Weißenstein ruins with an S3 descent.
Finally, a 10 km trail descent.
Finally, I …

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 😅
