ホーンホルストのバイクパーク・トップ9

When it's wet you don't really have any fun here, you just lose time and nerves, because if only 1/4 of what I step on lands on the ground and I'm immediately soaked when it comes into contact with the ground, as long as you're not wearing boots, that's it not that fun. But if you have enough time and wear waterproof shoes, you can also have fun here with a mountain bike, especially in the places where there are two very steep descents on the mud, especially near the end.

Yes, a great trail!!! Unfortunately, the last storm blocked the trail with trees in 2 places :-(

The communications tower Barsinghausen (internal: radio transmission point Barsinghausen 2) is a 150 meter high communications tower of Deutsche Funkturm. It is located on the 361 meter high Great Neck within the Deister and was put into operation in 1969. Structurally, it is an FMT 2 type tower. Radio programs are broadcast from here in addition to non-public directional radio. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernmeldeturm_Barsinghausen

For me as a beginner and for the first time in the Deister under the weather conditions, this is a challenge enough for now. It was very muddy / slippery in some places. The wide path also helped me to evade and look for the best route. If the path is drier, you can certainly drive here at a higher speed than today. In any case, it was a lot of fun despite the mud battle and was a nice tour for my birthday.

The Feggendorfer Trail is increasingly turning out to be one of my favorite home trails. It begins about 150m before the Heisterburg, coming from the Kreuzbuche. At first it meanders over the grippy forest floor. This is followed by a short, steep section downhill with quite narrow bends. Take a lot of speed with you and you can hit the right-hand kicker with a gap, or just leave it out. It continues quite flatly, followed by further small waves until it goes slightly uphill on the slope. (be careful when wet, clayey, greasy) Once at the top, the Feggendorfer shouts “speeeeeed” through the not too dense beech forest. This is followed by dips, natural curves, small kickers, short flat passages and dips at the back in which wonderful berms have been created. That's flow!!! New at the end, following the right line, is the big kick with gap. At the end of the trail left, with the bridge behind you. It goes along the edge of the forest on an easy single trail to Feggendorf. For me, the Feggendorfer is a must at the end of almost every Deister tour, especially in the light of the sunset.

There are great trails to discover around the tower. Respect rules! Love trails!

Right on the ridge ..

ZDF, NDR, Radio Antenne and Radio FFN broadcast via the telecommunications tower. It stands on the 361 meter high Great Neck and was put into operation in 1969.
