Kiental-Route

Before every ride, check that the brakes, tires, and suspension fork/shock are in good working order. Always ride with an eye out for hazards and at a controlled speed, and choose a route that suits the group’s riding ability and the terrain. The Fair Play rules must be observed at all times. Single/shared trails, as well as built trails in trail parks and trail centers, often feature rocks, roots, steep sections, steps, and sharp turns that require a certain level of riding skill. If in doubt, simply dismount and walk your bike.

A safe and roadworthy mountain bike is a prerequisite for all routes. A helmet and gloves provide protection in the event of a fall, and knee and elbow pads can be added when riding on single or shared trails. A modern mountain bike with disc brakes and sufficient tire tread is recommended. For single and shared trails rated red difficulty or higher, a full-suspension bike with modern geometry is recommended. Tools, a tire lever, a pump, and a spare tube will come in handy in case of a flat tire. You should also bring plenty of food and drink, as well as a cell phone and a windbreaker or rain jacket.

Starting from the Höldrichsmühle, the Kiental Route allows you to ride toward Anninger, with Hinterbrühl as your starting point. The steep forest road uphill toward Anninger requires some effort, but makes it easier to continue quickly toward the Anninger shelter and on toward Gaaden. The Kiental Route is accessible in both directions, making it possible to descend into Hinterbrühl as well. The Kiental Trail is equally important for cyclists who need to transfer from the Kiental Trail to the adjacent routes and trails on the Anninger Uphill.
