OUR TRAIL RULES

“Out of everyday life – into nature!”

A few basic rules help make the MTB tour a sustainable experience for both people and nature.

• Ride only on permitted paths. According to the Rhineland-Palatinate Forest Act, cycling on footpaths and trails is not allowed, except for the trails on our tours.
• Leave no traces. Take your trash home and protect our trails through your riding style. Avoid braking with locked tires. Do not shortcut switchbacks.
• Keep your bike under control. Stay within your comfort zone, adjust speed to the situation, and be able to stop within sight! Do not underestimate the technical and physical demands of our tours. Inform yourself beforehand.
• Respect other path users. Announce your arrival in good time, preferably with our scout bell! Do not ride on certified hiking trails. Be considerate on paths shared by hikers and mountain bikers. Hikers have the right of way. Let other path users pass.
• Be considerate to animals in the forest. We are in their habitat. Give them peace and do not disturb them while feeding. Therefore, avoid riding at dusk or at night.
• Do not build illegal trails. Use existing, approved tracks and courses.
• Set an example. Show through your behavior how mutual respect works and that it leads to good coexistence for all forest users. Help by living these rules.

These rules are based on the Trail Rules of the German Initiative Mountainbike (www.dimb.de) and the campaign #LoveTrailsRespectRules by Bike Magazine.
