Flow Rider — trail fun for everyone

The "TrailGround" Brilon is a cool flowtrail project right on the edge of the small town in the eastern Sauerland. Brilon is a popular holiday destination and with the TrailGround it is a real highlight for mountain bikers.The idea behind the trailground is fully in line with the Flowtrail philosophy. The trails are designed to be fun for everyone. Flowing waves, good bivouac neighbor curves, never crass steep or blatant downhill. Nevertheless, just such trails offer fun potential for both beginners and experienced bikers.The TrailGround offers plenty of trails, all of which are marked and can be combined very well in three different lengths of tours. The marked tours are seven, eleven or 17 kilometers long and therefore there is something for every fitness level. And for the eye: Again and again you will be rewarded with a great view over the hills of the Sauerland, before continuing on a fun and flowy downhill.This tour starts and ends at the Brilon train station, with regular connections to, for example, the Ruhr area. In addition, at the end of the round, we added the market square of Brilon, which is the perfect place to refresh and strengthen you after the tour.The TrailGround is a public project. There are a few rules and there are times when the trails are closed. More information can be found here: trailgroundbrilon.de

Freiburg is one of the sunniest and warmest cities in the republic. That alone does not qualify the southernmost city in Germany, of course, as a mountain bike Eldorado.
