Goldrush (UrTrails Altmühltal) - Mountain bike

Length: 15.03 km

The Goldrush guarantees a high proportion of trails and many singletrail highlights (difficulty S2 - S3) over almost 15 km in the Kelheim Frauenforst.

Waymarking

For an MTB tour on the Goldrush Trail, simply follow the signs.

The Goldrush leads directly behind the Kelheim town sign into the extensive Frauenforst forest and guarantees a wonderful view of Kelheim and the Befreiungshalle opposite on the first ascent at the Waldbauernschule.

After this climb, the Goldrush tapers off into a trail that initially takes an easy course through the Kelheim Frauenforst forest. After just under 4 km, this easy course turns into a varied single trail: the "Wurzelsepp Trail" is one of the riding highlights on the Goldrush, as it winds its way through dense trees with many changes of direction. This makes it particularly attractive for bikers, but also challenging in parts. The same applies to the following "short detour"which is relatively steep, especially at the trail exit.

If you want to reach the Frauenhäusl forest restaurant without the two trails, you can also follow the signs for the normal cycle path. The crowning glory of the tour is the "Serpentine Trail" back to Kelheim.
