/ Jägers Notweg Trail - Bike Republic SöldenPhoto: Ötztal Tourismus
Vom Brunnenberg zur Windach Ache und uphill zum Fahrweg Windachtal, technisch sehr anspruchsvoll!
At first the trail travels along an old forest route overgrown with plants and bushes. Later you reach the demanding Single Trail – one of the most difficult natural trails of its kind in the whole BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. Almost the entire trail is rated S3, some sections are also of S4 difficulty level: very narrow hairpin turns on a mostly wet surface, rock-strewn parts ... One thing is already for sure: those who can conquer this route without dismounting are real experts!
After crossing Windach Ache mountain brook you must push the bike uphill for about 10 minutes. Jägers Notweg can be perfectly combined with scenic Windachtal Trail (6000).
