Höchegg Forest Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

At the Höchegg I find this trail through the forest more beautiful than the one further north (that one is too gravel!) Come by a nice barbecue spot in the forest!

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Runs directly along the edge of the forest, in between there are one or two wild barbecues. Up here on this Legi meadow my father had to plant potatoes during the cultivation battle ...

March 23, 2022,Buechbergtrails inspiriert durch Jupp (Danke!)

Yesterday's contribution from Jupp motivated me to get to know more trails on the Buchberg. Tour adapted to my biobike and my strength (as few trails uphill as possible 😂) - cool round!

March 22, 2022,Trailfeuerwerk am helllichten Tag! In der Mittagspause mal kurz die Trails am Buechberg gerockt!! 👌

It's not at all easy to ride 25 km of trails criss-crossing the Buechberg without ever crossing your own tracks!
The price for this was two DH, which I'm up, mostly driving was just fine, but it also took a few minutes to push! But the main thing is that the line doesn't intersect! 😂😂😂

Before the rain comes tomorrow, as the weather is getting better and better, quickly ride the powder-dry trails on the Buechberg back and forth and back and forth and up and down.....

June 13, 2025,Mit’m Pit: „Nothing but trails!“ Buechberg unlimitted. Kreuz und Quer. Trocken. Schattig. Perfekt.

Trails galore! All dry! All shaded! Back and forth, back and forth over the Buechberg! Perfect for today's temperatures!
The trail options up there on the Buechberg are actually unlimited, but today they're limited solely by my work until nine, and now again from four... that's why we didn't leave until around eleven and had to take a shortcut at …

April 7, 2022,"Trails!Trails!Trails!" Kreuz und quer und ziemlich nass mit Birgit übern Buechberg

Dry from above (until we were just sitting in the car again, lucky 🍀), but on the way over the Buechberg on single trails that are often still quite wet...
High proportion of single trails with many of the flowing Buechberg trails, we only preferred to leave out some of the more difficult sections of the S2 trails and higher... …

March 30, 2022,"🌀BuechbergTrails unlimited🌀" Die ultimative Buchbergspirale, von aussen nach innen, rechtsdrehend

Worked until 1:00 p.m. and the announced rain still hadn’t arrived, not even at half past two - then it finally grabbed me - who knows when the Buechbergtrails will be as dry as they are right now??

From the planned ultimate lap I still have to cancel 15 km and one and a half spirals - after 15 km …
