Brief descriptionBärnkopf - Weinsbergwiese - Gutenbrunn - Gmaining - Pisching - Am Reith - Königswald - Schlesingerteich - Bärnkopf
The Ysperklamm route, (combined with the Leithen panorama route) ideally connects all three mountain bike hosts of the Waldviertel and is also on the Waldviertel Granite Trail, which runs from Gmünd on the Czech border to Persenbeug on the Danube. So actually ideal conditions for a whole MTB weekend in the Waldviertel.

Route description Ysperklamm route
After a few hundred meters the route leads onto a forest path. This is not particularly difficult, only after heavy rain it turns into deep terrain (which does not shake anyone) up to Gutenbrunn. Then follows an about 3 km long partly quite rough downhill. The last kilometers lead at very high speed on asphalt into the village of Gmaining and uphill again to the sawmill. Another three km uphill on a paved forest road (partly 18% gradient). After climbing almost 400 m, it goes with short alternating inclines and descents past the Pfaffensteg and Schlesinger ponds back to Bärnkopf!
A1 - Exit Ybbs on the Danube, Danube bridge, B36 to Laimbach, then via Gutenbrunn to Bärnkopf
