<\/p>\n

Palatinate Forest Park – Germany<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A bike park with a total of 300 kilometres of pathways with varying degrees of difficulty has been created in the Palatinate Forest, the largest unified wooded area in west Germany. It\u2019s a natural paradise for mountain bike enthusiasts, a wonderful experience at all times of the year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s exciting riding along romantic winding paths, up and down quickly alternating ascents and descents in fascinating, varying surroundings. Picturesque villages and lakes lie in the lonely valleys. Castles and bizarre rock formations provide great attractions. Routes can be combined according to time and technical demands, enabling technical freaks, beginners or families with children to find their perfect tour.<\/p>\n

Soldeu Bike Park – Andorra<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Have you ever been to one of the European smallest country? Soldeu Bike Park offers different types of routes for all mountain biking lovers to find their perfect trip. The former Spanish Downhill coach \u00d2scar S\u00e0iz is responsible for the shape of the park in this season. You can experience adrenaline on a mountain bike over roughly 100 km of free-ride, cross-country, enduro, and Slopestyle routes.<\/p>\n

Through Swiss Grand Canyon – Switzerland<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Take the exciting and thrilling tour along the spectacular Rhine gorge. It is very often referred to as the \u201cSwiss Grand Canyon\u201c with beautiful views of overlooking the gorge. This tour is about 42 km long and will take about five hours to finish.<\/p>\n

Vallnord Bike Park – Andorra<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another highlight from Andorra. Vallnord bike park regularly hosts World Cups \u2013 and is home to the World Championships for 2015. The annual Maxiavalanche race in June is the sister event to the infamous Megavalanche. It is easy to understand why such huge events come here: there is over a vertical kilometre of descent from the top of the mountain back into town!<\/p>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n

The top of the park is open and flowing, but as you dip below the tree line the trails become much more steep, twisting tightly through the trees, occasionally bursting out into bright sunlit clearings.<\/p>\n

Elberadweg – Germany<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Explore the \u201cElberadweg\u201d (Elbe cycle path), for the tenth time in a row the most popular cycle route in Germany. Ride into the upper part of the river Elbe through the spectacular rock formations of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. The Elbe cycle path is one of the most attractive and varied cycling\/walking routes in Europe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The region between the North Sea and the Czech border is distinguished by multifaceted landscapes, exciting history and a unique cultural heritage. It\u2019s almost 1300 km long tour, so it\u2019s a trip that will steal your holiday, but it\u2019s definitively worth of it.<\/p>\n
