Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Beautiful trail, perfect for practice hairpin bends, as the hairpin bends are not too tight. The trail is part of Tour 2 of the Mountain Bike Park Palatine Forest.

April 5, 2025,Runde über Heltersberg - Campingplatz Sägmühle

Last loop through the Palatinate Forest. Loop via Heltersberg. We always enjoy coming back here. MTB without path closures, no 2-meter rule like we have here in our region. What a relief. The Swabians are simply backward. Simply a beautiful ride. Always look out for one another, and then there are no problems with hikers or anything else.

Palatinate Forest MTB Park - Pure Mountain Biking

Just the thing to wake you up on a Sunday morning after a friend's 50th birthday the day before.

Some very challenging single trails - but you can dismount there just to be safe 😁.

That's biking in the Palatinate Forest ❤️
