If, as a biker in Germany, you can rely on there being single trails where it says "Trails", then in the Palatinate Forest Mountain Bike Park. And now the trail Eldorado in Rhineland-Palatinate is being expanded to include 15 new MTB trails. This increases the network of trails from 300 to a total of 900 kilometres in length and extends all the way to the French border. From now on, there will also be seamless signposting to the German Wine Route near Annweiler and Bad Bergzabern, around Landstuhl, Hauenstein, Dahn and through Pirmasens Land. The proportion of single trails remains at up to 25 per cent per tour.
The grand opening ceremony for the new routes will take place on the weekend of Wasgau Marathonsfrom 14 to 16 October in Lviv. Long-distance stars such as Mike Kluge, Karl Platt and Udo Bölts will be at the start to inaugurate the new routes at the marathon - practically a "friendship tour with professionals". Together with 1000 bikers, they will line up in the marathon starting block on Saturday. Those who prefer a more leisurely ride can sign up for the guided tours on Sunday. They start at the Albersweiler and Hauenstein railway stations. More information about the opening weekend and the new routes can be found at: www.mountainbikepark-pfaelzerwald.de
