OUR TRAIL RULES
"Out of everyday life – into nature!"
A few basic rules help to make the MTB tour a sustainable experience for people and nature.
- Ride only on permitted paths. According to the Rheinland-Pfalz State 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 with your riding style. Avoid braking with locked wheels. Do not cut switchbacks.
- Keep your bike under control. Stay within your comfort zone, adjust speed to the situation, you must be able to stop within sight! Do not underestimate the technical and physical demands of our tours. Inform yourself in advance.
- 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 priority. Let other users pass.
- Respect animals in the forest. We are in their habitat. Give them peace and do not disturb them while feeding. Avoid riding at dawn or night.
- Do not build illegal trails. Use existing, authorized routes and courses.
- Be a role model. Show through your behavior how mutual consideration works and leads to good coexistence in the forest for all users. Help by living these rules.
These rules are based on the Trail Rules of the German Mountain Bike Initiative (www.dimb.de) and the #LoveTrailsRespectRules campaign of Bike Magazine.
