Great for refining cornering technique! Very flowing and well-built berms!

Very nicely laid out trails. But what many forget or ignore is the mandatory helmet rule.

Really nice, varied flowtrail. Varied here means curvy (in every form) and with counter-climbs of diverse nature. But: Everything is relatively smoothly shaped and with few opportunities to "pull off". Rough terrain or roots are not to be expected here. The trail is part of the large Hude Runde.
