The village of Goldwil is politically part of Thun, but lies almost 500 meters higher and is a natural viewing terrace above the lower end of Lake Thun. A wedge-shaped piece of forest stretches in partly steep terrain to the lakeshore of the town, "Untere Wart" is the name of the adjoining quarter. It is obvious that a bike trail should be built here, ideal for schoolchildren's afternoons off, after-work rides for locals and for vacationers who come to the region by mountain bike. The trail will be called the Goldiwheel Trail. Of particular interest to less pedal-friendly bikers: the trail can be accessed by public transport.
Obviously, the tireless trail planners and builders at Flying Metal want (or need) to offer something for as many groups as possible. The top section should contain natural and optional built elements. This is followed by a jump line for bikers who like to jump. The third section will have a "natural" trail character. In the press release, the developers promise that a particularly small excavator will be used to minimize the impact on the landscape and soil. The fourth and final section rides into the Untere Wart district. It is primarily intended to be fun for children and beginners, who can improve their skills on simple stone and log elements. If everything goes according to plan, the first bikes will be rolling down the Goldwheel Trail on September 19 - five weeks after the ground-breaking ceremony.
