Tour 2

Waldfischbach-Burgalben - Johanniskreuz - Waldfischbach-Burgalben.

Waldfischbach is the start of a 48 km tour, or day outing, for fit riders through the idyllic woodland, passing through Heltersberg, Johanniskreuz and Schmalenberg along varying narrow trails and forest ways in untouched natural surroundings, finishing with fast downhill stretches back to the starting point

This route is suitable for a Sunday outing with friends but also as a training stretch for professional cyclists......several of whom come from this area. According to the motto: “Chain on the right and torture yourself” the pro’s can make this trip at “easy” 20 km/h average speed.

But, to be honest: Who wants to do that?
Just enjoy the tranquility of the largest unified wooded area in Germany - - the Palatinate Forest.

Stage:
Waldfischbach-Burgalben - Heltersberg - Waldfischbach-Burgalben

This stretch provides a good introductory tour for ambitious mountain bike fans in the bike network of the Palatinate Forest mountain bike park. 15.8 km, 255 m  of climbs combined with 18%  narrow trails will allow you to work on your technical skills. Perhaps you will still have time to enjoy the view from the sunny“3 Felsen” (3 rocks) and regain your strength for new and bigger tasks.

Stage:
Johanniskreuz - Heltersberg - Johanniskreuz

This route starts at Johanniskreuz and goes via “Gumpels Weg” down through the so-called  “Kanonenrohr” (cannon barrel) to the Saegmuehle camping site, whose owner is very keen on mountain biking too.

Because of the continually alternating up and downhill paths, your legs will feel like lead by the time you get back to the starting point.
You should plan on a short time of relaxation and a cool drink at one of the restaurants at Johanniskreuz!
