OUR TRAIL RULES
"Out of everyday life – into nature!"
A few basic rules help make the MTB tour a sustainable experience for people and nature.
- Ride only on permitted paths. According to the Rhineland-Palatinate state forest law, cycling on footpaths and pedestrian paths 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 cut switchbacks.
- Keep your bike under control. Stay in your comfort zone, adjust speed to the situation, and be able to stop within sight! Do not underestimate the technical and endurance 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. Take care on paths shared by hikers and mountain bikers. Hikers have priority. Let other path users pass.
- Respect animals in the forest. We are moving in their habitat. Give them peace and do not disturb them while feeding. Avoid riding at dusk or at night.
- Do not build illegal trails. Use existing permitted routes and courses.
- Be a role model. Show by your behavior how mutual consideration works and that it leads to good coexistence for all forest users. Help by following these rules.
These rules are based on the trail rules of the German Mountainbike Initiative (www.dimb.de) and the #LoveTrailsRespectRules campaign by Bike Magazine.
