Hornissen-Trail
As the first official mountain bike single trail in the central Linz area, the Hornissen Trail was opened on October 26, 2021 and officially opened on March 19, 2022 after a test phase. The 1.2-kilometre MTB trail, which is around 200 meters deep, was created by the local mountain bike community in several hundred hours of manual work.
The near-natural trail was created as a joint project by MTB Linz, landowner Niklas Salm-Reifferscheidt, the Steyregg forestry administration, Naturfreunde Linz & Steyregg and the municipality of Steyregg.
Current trail conditions, closures and detailed information about the Pfenningberg trails can be found on the website of the responsible trail operators:
https://www.uppertrails.at
or https://pfenningberg.uppertrails.at
Use is free of charge for local residents and clubs. Commercial offers are prohibited and must be requested from the trail operator and landowner via UpperTrails / MTB Linz. Larger group events must also be registered.
UpperTrails (formerly MTB-Linz) is responsible for maintaining the trails and mountain bike routes. You can also contact them if you have any questions, requests or problems. UpperTrails can be reached at www.uppertrails.at. Current trail reports and closure notifications can also be found directly on the UpperTrails homepage.
