Ideally integrated into the terrain, the flowtrail leads from Marbachegg to Marbach. The varied route is equipped with many playful elements.

The approximately 4-kilometer-long route from Marbachegg to Marbach is especially suitable for mountain bikers who already have experience with single trails in the terrain. Playful elements such as waves, curves, and jumps put a big smile on everyone's face. Fans of table jumps also get their money's worth on the flowtrail, which is made exclusively of natural materials. All jumps can be rolled over and thus offer appeal both for experts and those bikers who want to slowly approach jumps. Steeper sections on the trail can be bypassed. Another plus: once you reach the bottom, you can comfortably take the gondola lift back up to Marbachegg.
