This year's organiser is the mountain biker, adventure athlete, world traveller and Bicycle podcaster Tobias Woggon. He has already explored the region several times on a gravel bike and learnt to love it in the process. Now he wants to show gravel fans from all over Germany the Ore Mountains region.

Celebration weekend for all gravel fans

The Gravel Camp Erzgebirge is not only suitable for experienced gravel bikers. Beginners and cycling fans with less fitness will also get their money's worth, as there are a wide variety of tours on offer. There are also test bikes for the curious who want to give gravel biking a try.
