The red bear tour is part of Willingen's MTB routes for children. These are so well networked and signposted that parents and children can decide during the tour which route they want to take and how long the route should be.Important: The requirement profiles are only guidelines - these can of course vary from child to child. Children should not ride alone. Mountain bikes are required in any case. Riding the routes is at your own risk. In some places, hikers or car traffic may be on the same paths.
The red bear tour is marked black at the beginning and takes us over the Orenberg with a very, very steep ascent where you will most likely have to push for about 200 meters. But that's part and parcel of a proper mountain bike tour.
The route of the red bear is a little more difficult than the black bear in terms of fitness, but not as technically demanding.
Information
Directions
The red bear tour is marked in black at the beginning and takes us over the Orenberg with a very, very steep ascent where you will most likely have to push for about 200 meters. But that's part and parcel of a proper mountain bike tour.The reward is a flowing, slightly downhill single track through the forest. At the Schwalefeld lift junction, we follow the red bear symbol.Our route takes us to Schwalefeld and through the Aartal valley to Willingen. Shortly after Schwalefeld there is a small playground with a bike course where the kids are sure to have lots of fun. We leave the Aartal via a small stream that can be ridden through and a longer, rideable climb. From the entrance to Stryck, you have to expect car traffic.
Equipment
We recommend a helmet, functional, weather-appropriate cycling clothing, backpack food, sufficient fluids (water, tea), air pump, repair kit and multi-tool.
