Cautious and considerate


Mountain bikers are often not alone in the hills – hikers, joggers, Nordic walkers, inline skaters and other outdoor sports enthusiasts also love the varied landscape of the Harz. It goes without saying that a friendly and fair interaction with one another is needed when a path is crowded, a bridge is too narrow or a trail is too steep. Everyone wants to have their fun.

Safety for mountain bikers is of paramount importance here in the Harz. You can help by having the right clothing and well-maintained equipment. Always keep your bike under control - there could be an unexpected hazard around the next corner! Just in case something does happen, the forestry offices in the Harz have set up a comprehensive network of numbered emergency location points so that the rescue services can find you quickly and easily.
