I really like the lower part of the Laaber Trail Uphill...it's curvy, a bit technical and towards the end it picks up a bit of incline. I can hardly ride the upper part unless I'm having a really good day, but I can recommend the lower section to anyone looking for a fine uphill challenge! Is also a really good training both technique and speed! video will follow!

Please go the trail everyone already knows, but on other trails that are really extremely complex and do not necessarily run on legal surfaces, I definitely agree with you, but not on the trail ...

Also this one, a super flow and quite wide trail in the Dreihufeisenberg located in the Lainzer Tiergarten area near Vienna. The first section is a bit steeper then the rest, for sure a must for this area. Trailcheck of the 11-05-2021: https://youtu.be/DPKiH733g0k
