View of Urfahr and the Danube from the BikeFeeling bench

Highlight • Viewpoint

The waypoint is marked incorrectly on the map, at least the photo with the bike and bench is wrong. The viewing point is the so-called "BikeFeeling Bankerl" - it was also properly created some time ago by the local initiative MTB-Linz, which looks after the paths on Pfenningberg:

Hornissen Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Hornissen Trail was opened on October 26, 2021 as the first official mountain bike single trail in the central Linz area. The 1.2 kilometer and approximately 200 meter long MTB trail was created by hand by the local mountain bike community in several hundred hours of work.

The Hornissen Trail requires a certain amount of trail experience and riding technique: The difficulty is rated "red" or S1 to S2 on the single trail scale. The winding route makes it challenging and fun for both trail beginners and advanced riders. While the first section leads through somewhat steeper terrain, the route becomes flatter and flowier towards the bottom. All rocks integrated into the natural route can be bypassed, and terrain edges and jumps can also be rolled over. Please note: In wet or wintry conditions, the technical demands increase considerably due to the slippery surface.

A technically easy Pfenningberg loop, but that doesn't make the climb any less steep 🥵😂😂
