Allander MTB Runde

Before every ride, check that the brakes, tires, and suspension fork/shock are in good working order. Always ride with an eye out for hazards and at a controlled speed, and choose a route that suits the group’s riding ability and the terrain. The Fair Playrules must be observed at all times. Single/shared trails, as well as built trails in trail parks and trail centers, often feature rocks, roots, steep sections, steps, and sharp turns that require a certain level of riding skill. If in doubt, simply dismount and walk your bike.

A safe and roadworthy mountain bike is a prerequisite for all routes. A helmet and gloves provide protection in the event of a fall, and knee and elbow pads can be added when riding on single or shared trails. A modern mountain bike with disc brakes and sufficient tire tread is recommended. For single and shared trails rated red or higher, a full-suspension bike with modern geometry is recommended. Tools, a tire lever, a pump, and a spare tube will help in case of a flat tire. You should also carry enough food and drink, as well as a cell phone and a windbreaker or rain jacket.

From the center of Alland, we take the Waldschulweg and follow the signs up a dirt road into the woods of the Alland Rehabilitation Center. After a short, flat singletrack section, the trail climbs more steeply to the water reservoir and the highest point. The descent takes us along a wide forest road to the rehabilitation center, down to Groisbach on paved road, and then along beautiful field and farm roads to Untermaierhof. We circle around the Kritschenkogel on a farm road and roll leisurely downhill with a view of Alland to the Helenetal Bike Trail and back to the starting point.
