Bayerischer Rundfunk reports on people and mountains in the programme Bergauf-Bergab. The new season of the online series "Bergmenschen" is about the best way to experience mountains from our point of view: Mountain biking. On the one hand, it's about five female mountain bikers and their way of living the sport. On the other, it's about the efforts of bikers in the Allgäu and Miesbach district to create legal trails.

Michi Düchs is the face and presenter of the programme Uphill - downhillwho can usually be seen on ropes and steep cliffs on Bayerischer Rundfunk - a mountaineering magazine programme that has been broadcast regularly for more than 40 years. However, the programme is also regularly devoted to the topic of mountain biking. In the online series Mountain people female mountain bikers were portrayed in the ongoing 10th season, accompanied on their tours or observed during trail building.

The BR film team also visits two regions where small mountain bike clubs are active and have achieved a great deal: Mountain bikers from MTB Allgäu e.V. and Gravitationssportverein Miesbach are committed to improving the conditions for their sport. And acceptance. They are looking for the Dialogue with authorities, landowners and other interest groupsto find new solutions to old conflicts on the trails together. The end result will (hopefully) be legal trails - and better co-operation between all those who want to experience the mountains.
