Mountainbike

Tour drivers and families will have lots of fun at the new bike arena in the Allgäu! Throughout the districts of Nesselwang, Oy-Mittelberg and Wertach a track system consisting of 18 circuit tours has been created.

Nesselwang Bike Arena
You can really have a great time at the Bike-Park located in close-by Bad Hindelang. Here you can enjoy 13 free-ride kilometres with different levels on difficulty along three posted routes. The difference in altitude of the descents is 523 metres for each route.
Whether you are a professional or a beginner – at the Bike-Park everyone will have a good time. We recommend that beginners slowly adapt to the different levels of difficulty by beginning with the yellow course (easy) and then moving on to the green course (moderate). The black course (difficult) is only intended for the best riders.
