The hiking trails are very narrow. Advanced driving technique is required

October 12, 2023,Kipfenberg - Kressensteig (12.10.23)

The Kresensteig should not be underestimated. The upper part is easy to drive.

However, later there is a risk of falling and difficulty S2.

Controlled, safe biking is absolutely important here

May 12, 2024,Trialstrecke – Kipfenberg - Römischer Wachtturm Runde von Biberg

Today, in typical Bavarian weather, the sky was white and blue, and a Kipfenberg circuit was planned.

There were minor problems with the altitude, as it was supposed to be 850 meters.

The trails were great, finally no wet roots. I had expected more hikers on the trails but there were only 2 groups, lucky me. 😀
