Old castles, idyllic wine villages and trees as far as the eye can see. There are good reasons why the Palatinate Forest is considered one of the best biking regions in Germany by mountain bikers. This is not only due to the dreamy, flowing trails and the rapid alternation of steep climbs and technically demanding descents. The spectacular views, bizarrely shaped sandstone cliffs and the warm hospitality in the Palatinate huts also make the area a popular destination for weekend trips and mountain bike vacations.

In his book, mountain bike guide Patrick Wiedemann presents the 25 most beautiful, completely legal trails for all fitness levels. And because he knows the routes in the Palatinate like no other, he also reveals which mountain bike tours are fun with children. All the routes are officially signposted and, in addition to the classics such as the Dahner Felsenland or Lambrecht, also ride to undiscovered areas around Fischbach or Bad Bergzabern.

The Palatine also presents multi-day tours, including a route that rides across the French border into Alsace. In addition, the founder of the "Trailrock" riding technique school gives tips on downhill positions, braking and cornering technique that can also be used outside of the Palatinate Forest trails.
