The new bike route will lead to a better channeling of mountain bikers, relieve the pressure on hiking trails and also protect the flora and fauna on the mountain by concentrating bikers on the new route. It is very regrettable that the very groups whose interests would indirectly benefit from the new route are trying to prevent the sensible use of the mountain for tourism with their objections. Last-minute objections from nature conservation and hunting groups against the construction of the planned launch platform in the perimeter of the cable car mountain station are unnecessarily delaying the approval process and the planned construction work.

Although the construction work on the bike route is already well advanced and an opening in September would have been realistic, the Weissenstein cable car cannot open the route without the construction of the launch platform and thus clear visitor guidance immediately after arrival on the mountain (bikers and hikers). All advertising measures for the new offer have therefore been postponed for the time being. The next possible opening date is planned for spring 2023.

Travel on the sections of the route that have already been completed remains prohibited until the official opening. The route is currently neither inspected nor maintained. Seilbahn Weissenstein AG accepts no liability for the current use of the route.As soon as further developments are foreseeable, Seilbahn Weissenstein AG will provide further information.
