My first and only time in Winterberg was in 2008 year and I remembered this place as fun and pleasure to ride. This year I decided to visit again this small mountain near Dortmund and I wasn’t dissapointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bike Park Winterberg<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The location of Winterberg means that we won’t see here alpine views or big mountains. When we arrived, our companion Pawe\u0142 even said “guys, there are no mountains!”<\/em>. However, the first profession was quickly replaced by a smile and joy of riding on local trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bike park office, bike shop & service, rental – all of this you can find in small building near the entrance. They also have free WiFi ;)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you are wondering how wisely you can use a hill with less than two hundred meters in height, it means that you have never been to Winterberg. That’s right! The difference between the upper (778 m a.s.l.) and the lower station (599 m a.s.l.) of the chairlift is only 179 meters. The length of the lift is also a small 562 meters, but the number of trails and their length beats all our Polish bike parks. We have here 11 routes with a length of over 12 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trails<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Bike Park Winterberg you have eleven trails with different difficulty degrees. All trails are very well marked and before the entrance we’ll find special boards with all informations about trail. You can find there also some safety & needed skills tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All trails are maintained daily by bike park crew. It means that when we arrived to Winterberg at the very end of summer holidays, we could use almost perfectly prepared trails without many braking bumps or holes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Beginners area<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Beginners area is a special place next to bike park office and it’s perfect for warm up or start our journey with mountainbiking. You’ll find here few jump lines in all sizes, some berms, drops or pump track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2. Continental Track<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      When I was here for the first time 11 years ago I remembered this trail as big pump track. However, memory can be unreliable and a lot of details just gone away. It’s a nice and flowy trail with a lot of perfectly shaped berms and small jumps. It’s very short, but it’ll warm you up very quickly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
