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 known 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 routes 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 like driving a car, you should always ride on sight when mountain biking. On frosty roads, expect to see wood on the roadway and motor vehicles.

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

Proper self-assessment is necessary in any sport! Do not overstrain yourself in technique and condition. This also avoids accidents.

This tour is accessible by mountain bike or trekking bike.
