The tour

Unlike the Eiskar Trail, the route of the first section of the Schnepfenwald Trail is less curvy. But it impresses with many waves, which fast bikers can jump over. The second section begins after a short ride on the Reiteralm road and convinces with its very varied route, equipped with wooden elements, directly up to the Preunegg Jet valley station.
