Mountain Bike Trail in the Eilenriede Forest in Hannover

Mountain bikers in action on the trail in Eilenriede

Mountain bikers can enjoy the Eilenriede right in the heart of Hannover without having to travel far. The first official trail in Europe’s largest urban forest is located near the Rodelberg in Waldhausen, between the Tiefenriede Play Park and Adolf-Ey-Straße. Spanning an area of 2,000 square meters, an approximately 250-meter-long pump track and a dirt line with four jumps offer plenty of riding fun and exciting jumps: the numerous mounds and waves, as well as the sweeping curves of the pump track, ensure the right flow. The jumps, ranging in height from 1 meter to 1.90 meters, require courage and athletic skill.

The new attraction is suitable for experienced mountain bikers as well as beginners and youngsters aged 10 and over. Younger children can put their biking skills to the test accompanied by their parents. Of course, a suitable bike and protective equipment are important.

This trail was built in the Eilenriede to prevent "off-trail" biking in the forest: tree roots suffer greatly from the pressure of tires, and the trees are damaged in the long term and may even die.

Excerpt from the cover of the flyer "Cycling in the Eilenriede and Other Urban Forests": A group consisting of rollerbladers, a dog, and a cyclist encounters another cyclist on a bike path in the forest.
