German bikers have a long journey. It takes four hours by car from Munich alone. There are four main routes, each with an altitude difference of around 350 metres. Two freeride trails, a downhill and a family descent. The family trail undulates tamely down the slope with table jumps and berms, but is also a little bland. The downhill is quite nice, but old school: rooty, twisty, bumpy. The two freeride trails, on the other hand, are real crowd favourites. They are packed with fun gimmicks such as tables, drops, berms, wall rides, hip jumps and step-ups. A fun slopestyle line with a wooden wave, wallride, drops and table jump is located on a plateau. With these two routes, you realise that the operators have understood the principle. Almost all the gimmicks are well built, reasonably sized and deliver a lot of sensation with a low risk of falling.
Conclusion The two freeride routes in particular make the park one of our favourites. There are fireworks of jumps and cool stunts here.
