Description
After a short drive directly from the city center, the approach trail leads about 800m from the starting point to the skill area. There are short "practice trails" of varying difficulty (S0-S1), with small jumps, waves, steep turns and berms.
The Homeway Trail (approx. 800m, medium, S1-S2) or the Border Trail (approx. 300m, difficult, S2-S3) are somewhat longer and more challenging. Both end on the asphalt road in the settlement, which you can use to cycle back to the starting point (total circuit approx. 3km).
