    Mountain biking

    It was on 19 April 1945. At 13.30 clock shook the region. A massive detonation was heard within 40 kilometers to Weiden and Bayreuth. With a few tons of dynamite was the "Dora", the largest ice rink, which has ever left a weaponsmith blown up and destroyed the 1350 -ton monster on the local railway line Eschenbach-Kirchenthumbach at Metzenhof. Dora was a product of the Essen Krupp works. One can only guess at the track in this place and feel the history.
