The medium-difficulty trails already require trail skills and previous experience in this profession. These are technical trails that require a certain basic endurance on the bike. With an average riding time of 4 hours in steep terrain, you can really work off your energy against a fantastic backdrop.

The more challenging and difficult trails are only suitable for real experts and athletically trained people. A real thrill awaits you here.
