## A singletrail on the Baumgartnerhöhe

Roots, rocks, berms and tables: the Liftgärtner Trail T40 is one of several singletrails in the Trailcenter Faaker See on the Baumgartnerhöhe.

With difficulty grade S2 it sits in the middle range and combines a natural line with playful features. All around lies a whole trail network, from the easy Lowgartner Trail to the black Blackgartner Trail.

## Why the trail is worth it for mountain bikers

The Trailcenter covers every level, from a flow trail for beginners to an enduro route. The Liftgärtner Trail itself is short at 600 metres, so its appeal only unfolds in combination: link it with the Samonigg Trail and other neighbouring trails and you soon have a well-rounded tour. You can stop for something to eat right at the Baumgartnerhof.

## What you will experience

- Moderately difficult singletrail S2, approx. 0.6 km long
- Part of the Trailcenter Faaker See on the Baumgartnerhöhe
- Can be combined with the Samonigg Trail or the Blackgartner Trail
- Reachable via the uphill trail or a forest road
- A stop for food and drink right at the Baumgartnerhof

## Our insider tip

Do not ride the Liftgärtner Trail on its own, but add two or three neighbouring trails. In the Trailcenter Faaker See the routes can be put together into a varied loop to suit your ability.
