Trails are the salt in the mountain bike soup. For beginners and children, however, they can quickly become frustrating. In Rabenberg in the Ore Mountains, biker-friendly trails have been created for this purpose. They are close to nature so as not to destroy the feeling of real mountain biking and experiencing nature. And yet developed enough to keep the flow and joy of riding alive, even for beginners. Children also feel at home on the easy trails. Perfect for families: Mums and dads hungry for kilometres can let off steam on an extra lap while the kids have fun in the sports park at the campsite or one of the playgrounds.
