Important notes that must be observed before riding:

The gravel bike routes published here are purely digital route recommendations. Riding these routes is entirely at your own risk. We assume no liability whatsoever for accidents of any kind, including hazards typical of forested areas (e.g., falling branches, falling trees, unforeseeable obstacles along the route). Please ride attentively and with due caution at all times. Be sure to follow local signs and regulations.

Our recommendations for safe and considerate gravel biking:

1. Use only existing trails and do not stray from the recommended route. This helps protect nature and prevent erosion.

2. Respect other trail users: Be considerate of hikers, other cyclists, and horseback riders. Yield the right of way and communicate politely.

3. Always adjust your speed to the conditions: Take into account your riding skills, the trail conditions, the weather, and other trail users.

4. Protect animals and nature: Stay on the trails, avoid riding at dusk or at night, keep your distance from wildlife, and do not leave any trash behind.

5. Take your trash with you: Everything you bring—from packaging and tissues to spare parts—must be taken back with you.

6. Wear appropriate gear: A helmet, lights, tools, spare parts, possibly snacks, and plenty of water are standard equipment.

7. Plan ahead: Check the weather and trail conditions, make sure your bike and gear are in good shape—and familiarize yourself with the route beforehand.
