Description

The Höllkopf—643 m high, the highest mountain in the Hessian Westerwald—has been delivering awesome MTB vibes for decades. The BikePark Driedorf offers trails for every skill level. The climb is steady all the way up, and at the top, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views. Then it’s time to tear it up on 4 trails:

  • A: 24-Stunne Trail, 618 meters, 67 meters of elevation gain
  • B: Wennelstaa Trail, 539 meters, 71 meters of elevation gain
  • C: WWS Trail, 475 meters, 59 meters of elevation gain,
  • D: Rüwwer and Nüwwer, 585 meters, 68 meters of elevation gain

The park is open to the public, free of charge, and built by volunteers—with support from ABUS and the HMUKLV.
