The Plattweg Trail is often left out because it is much more comfortable to take the cycle path along Lake Reschen from the Haideralm back to Schöneben or Nauders. That's why he leads - wrongly in my opinion - a shadowy existence. The trail has (almost) everything you could wish for from a mountain bike trail.
But there is probably another reason why many skip the Plattweg. It doesn't matter where you start your enduro tour in the Reschen area, you most likely have exhausted legs and arms many skip the ride with the gondola up to the Haideralm. The Plattweg - which starts just below the Haiderlm - is a challenge, especially in terms of fitness. In terms of driving technique, it's not too difficult. It has one or two tricky sections, but above all it's a physical challenge if you try to keep the pace up.
The trail is littered with boulders and lets the vertical drop or roughly 220 meters go only very reluctantly. From time to time it even goes uphill, but never for very long. But you have to keep pedaling to maintain your momentum.
In between, however, it always rewards you with magnificent views of Lake Reschen and the 3000+ meter summits above the Langtauferer valley. Incidentally, at the end of the Plattweg Trail you are not quite down in the valley, after a few meters on the fire road you join the Lower Spin Trail and can then continue down the valley via the Gorf Trail or a small hidden variant.
For me personally, it is one of the most beautiful trails in the 3Länder Trail area. But it also meets my preference for physically demanding trails. If you are looking for flow or primarily downhill and want to save your power for that, you may prefer the way back via the Reschensee cycle path in the future.
