As the name of the tour suggests. Keeping a long story short. So intense uphill and downhill.

The locals would say: "Up over the jumps and down the cattle path". You really don't need to know more. Except perhaps that you shouldn't be afraid of over 20% uphill and downhill gradients.

The tourist paths of the Rhön are mostly also used by other active people (hikers, mountain bikers, cyclists, walkers, horse riders, cross-country skiers, etc.).We ask all active nature sports enthusiasts to be considerate of each other. Of course, the same applies to nature - it is worth protecting. In the Rhön, nature sports should therefore only be practiced in daylight on designated paths and areas.
- In the Rhön, the paths are shared. With mutual consideration, nobody needs to get angry.
- It is best to drive on trails and paths. Across the meadow - don't do that!
- Take the memories with you and your rubbish!
- Never drive faster than you can stop.
- At night (and in winter) the forest belongs to the animals.
We recommend that you only ride the mountain bike circuits in the summer season (May-October).
