Whether beginner or ambitious downhiller, the in 2022 created Sender Trail in Judenburg in the adventure region Murtal in Styria offers something for every enthusiastic mountain biker. The Sender Trail is divided into 3 parts - black, red and blue and brand new is the bike park for children and adult beginners. On these trails (some of which are also suitable for running bikes) the young shredders are introduced to the sport in a safe and structured way. Thanks to various sections, experienced mountain bikers can also hone their riding technique.

On the flow trail in the lower part of the trail, newcomers can get some trail air, and then work their way up section by section. The starting point is the Schnürer parking lot in Reifling. From there, the access to all sections is very well signposted.

You also have the option of getting off beforehand on the ascent and either taking only the blue section or the blue and red sections. For the blue one turns off on a forest road.

At the top of the trail start there is a nice bench with a wonderful view, this is perfect for a short break and snack before you start into the trail on the 0.67km long Black section, this section is the most technical (difficult) and has a few tight turns, jumps and short steep sections. After crossing the asphalt road you enter the Red section with medium difficulty. After 0.7km you cross a forest road and start into the blue section (easy), a flow trail. In this section there is something for everyone from beginners to advanced. Either ride casually along or go for the features on it. At the end of the blue section, it continues briefly to the left on a forest road before it continues along the meadow towards the parking lot. All jumps on the different sections can be ridden around.

After the trail fun you can still let your soul dangle in the Judenburger Erlebnissbad on hot summer days.

More information

The approach is via Judenburg, past the municipal outdoor pool in the direction of TÜPL Seetalstraße.At the first fork in the road is the so-called Schnürer parking lot. This would be the optimal starting point for the mountain bike trail as a circuit.

Ascent via Schnürerstrasse (asphalt road) to Reiflingeck or via the former toboggan run (suitable for e-mountain bikers and fit mountain bikers).

Coming from the direction of Jugendburg, drive past the swimming pool and take the first left turn (Seetalstraße) down to the parking lot (Schnürerparkplatz).

Ascent via the asphalted Schnürerstraße or via the former toboggan run (suitable for e-mountain bikers and fit mountain bikers).

Descent via trails with different levels of difficulty and sections for the widest possible target group. All 3 sections can also be ridden individually.

Walkers and hikers always have priority. A friendly and considerate approach to pedestrians is a prerequisite. In case of encounters, it is important to make yourself noticed with the bell and pass slowly. Walking paths and hiking trails may not be used by mountain bikes.

Our nature and landscape is as good as untouched and beautiful. To keep it that way, we ask vacationers to avoid litter and unnecessary noise. In order not to disturb the animals, the mountain bike trails should only be used during the day:

from June 1 to September 15 from 9.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m.

from 16 September to 31 October from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.

Ride only on cleared, marked trails and never off the beaten path. On the forest paths the road traffic regulations must be observed!

Just as when driving a car, you should always ride on sight when mountain biking. On forest roads, wood on the roadway and motor vehicles are to be expected.

If you encounter grazing livestock on the trail, reduce your speed to walking pace to avoid wrong reactions of the animals. Please always close grazing gates!

Proper self-assessment is necessary in any sport! Do not overstrain yourself with the technique and condition. This will also help you avoid accidents.
