The Teäre Line. 5,2 km route. From the Gaislachkogl intermediate station. Hilly terrain. Flowing. 130 bends for smooth manoeuvres and elegant turns. Pleasure and fun in focus – no difficult obstacles. This unique track is really suitable for experienced endure riders and newcomers alike. As per the Flow Country principle, there are few drops, and more bends and waves.
Distance: 5,2 km / Descent: 575 m / difficulty: moderate
As its name suggests, the Zaahe Line is a tough challenge – (‘zäh’ is the German word for ‘tough’) – with sheer drops, rollers and steep bends. It branches off from the Teäre Line and is there waiting for technically experienced bikers to get stuck into.
