Hornissen-Trail

As the first official mountain bike single trail in the Linz central region, the Hornet Trail was released on October 26, 2021, and after a test phase was ceremoniously opened on March 19, 2022. The 1.2-kilometer and approximately 200-deep MTB trail was created in several hundred hours of work by means of manual labor by the local mountain bike community.

The nature-oriented trail was implemented as a joint project by MTB Linz, landowner Niklas Salm-Reifferscheidt, Steyregg Forestry Department, Naturfreunde Linz & Steyregg and the Steyregg Municipality.

The Mountain Bike Initiative Linz (MTB-Linz) is responsible for maintaining the trails and mountain bike routes. You can also contact them with any questions, requests or problems. MTB-Linz can be reached at www.mtblinz.at. Current trail reports and closure notifications are also placed directly on the MTB-Linz homepage. The Hornissen trail requires a certain trail experience and riding technique: The difficulty is rated "red" or S1-S2 according to the singletrack scale. Due to the curvaceous course of the trail, it provides both trail beginners as well as advanced mountain bikers with a challenging and enjoyable ride. While the first section leads flat through the terrain over long serpentines, the course of the trail becomes increasingly faster and flowier towards the bottom. All rocks integrated into the natural course of the trail can be ridden around, as well as off-road edges and jumps can be rolled off.

Please note: In wet or wintry conditions, the riding demands increase considerably due to the slippery surface.
