One of the reasons for the canton of Thurgau's commitment is the national Cycle Path Act, which requires the creation of mountain bike routes for leisure traffic. The cantons are given a planning period of five years and an implementation period of twenty years. In mid-June, the cantonal government commissioned the civil engineering office responsible for non-motorized traffic to draw up a mountain bike concept. The concept is intended to identify measures to create a legal, target group-specific and attractive mountain bike offering in the canton.

The concept collects the existing needs of all interest groups and shows the processes for the realization of a mountain bike offer. The end result should be a functioning mountain bike route network with the necessary signage.An initial public workshop "Needs analysis" forms the basis for the needs assessment. The aim is to identify the needs of the various target groups on the subject of mountain biking, uncover relevant issues, record ongoing projects and highlight development potential and problem areas. Potential participants are regional and local representatives of the various interest groups (agriculture, forestry, nature and environment, hunting, transportation, sportspeople, etc.). The workshop is open to anyone and everyone. The only requirement is a willingness to actively participate.Date: November 30, 2022
