Several varied lines to choose from. The uphill section rolls upwards along forest paths. Those who only want to surf the Krappenberg trails can park at the Lichtenfels animal shelter or, better yet, at the Meran swimming pool and set off directly.

Many thanks to the people who legalized these trails! 3 really good, fun sections! I'd love to come back here again! Highly recommended!

Blue is really blue, no jumps, but small waves, flowy spots and lots of curves. You shouldn't drive blue without some experience. Red accordingly much more demanding with jump options and tables. Well done.

Stupid question... Which side does the trail start from? Krappenberg or or from the side from the shelter direction? Thanks for the answer.
