Crowdfunding for public pump track in Horw

The MTB-Freeride-Connection Luzern aims to promote mountain biking in the Lucerne region. This includes their current project, the pump track on the roof of the highway in Horw, for which the association is running a crowdfunding campaign on "I belive in you".

With the pump track on the roof of the highway in Horw, the association wants to create an ideal training opportunity and leisure activity close to the city that can be used by all bike enthusiasts and for all age groups and skill levels. The pump track will be open to the public so that many can benefit from it. Although it has already been created and is rideable, it still has a few corners and edges that make it difficult to ride smoothly. The drainage is also not ideal. That's why the MTB Freeride Connection made contact with experts during the winter break and inspected the pump track with them. The insight gained from this is that completion with professional help would significantly increase the attractiveness and sustainability of the facility.

However, the association does not have the financial resources to hire the trail construction company, excavator, soil and tools. It is therefore reliant on support.

Like the already completed bike trail in the Gigeliwald forest, the MTB-Freeride-Connection club built and financed the pump track itself over the course of last summer up to its current status.

The aim of the MTB-Freeride-Connection Luzern association is to promote the sport of mountain biking in the Lucerne region. A central concern is the planning and realization of attractive bike trails as well as the enforcement of "trail tolerance" for a respectful coexistence of hikers and bikers.
