Top 5 Bike Parks around Utecht

Inconspicuous trail entry in the northwest. You only believe that it is really more than a deer crossing or a beaten path when you drive past the bank. Narrow, a bit winding and with a tendency slightly downhill it goes towards the Rodelberg. At the most interesting point, the trees are so narrow that you have to circle a little (but it just seems to be forming a chicken line to the right). Arrived at the toboggan hill, it goes rapidly downhill with a few bumps that invite you to make small jumps. The nature of the descent varies greatly depending on the season and weather conditions. It's best not to try it out when the hill is serving its actual purpose Bestimmung, then it can be ugly icy at times. Otherwise, have fun on this little descent!

Bike park with some jumps

In the main vegetation period in summer, like so many paths, some of them are completely overgrown. So do not plan at the moment!

The beginning (in the north) is a bit tough because it is used as a storage area for garden waste. LEFT of the tree it goes up (to the right of the split tree is the end of the weed), then over said waste. Everything is mobile but also quite tight. Afterwards you can already guess what the title wants to tell us. These first small bumps are currently chopped up by wild boar. Then the path becomes tighter and remains very narrow all the time. There are two sections with said small bumps, which are nice to drive and make the path a highlight for me. With a normal size bike you have to work properly with your arms, but you also gain speed. In front of the mini tree, which has grown directly in the path, you should maybe slow down a bit, then you will also get the small curve afterwards. You have to like it! If that scares you, leave it better! Otherwise, have fun!

Unfortunately, drop and kicker are in miserable condition. Anyway, the narrow paths are still more fun than the wide dirt roads.

"Trail" is rather an understatement for this wide forest path. It's certainly better than the parallel road, though. The right side of the path (to the southeast) is lined with wooded slopes, while to the left lies a wetland. Through the trees, you can catch glimpses of ponds and moorland lakes. (Of course, the path doesn't actually start in the pond, as marked on the map 😉) But the area has more to offer 😁 Twice, paths branch off to the right, leading to the slope on the southern shore of Lake Blankensee, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view and a short downhill trail. I would recommend this route over the end marked here. At the second of these junctions, a narrow path leads up along the edge of a field. (Sascha's picture shows its still quite wide beginning from the marked forest path.) And beyond that, keep your eyes peeled on the slopes 😉🤙🏻

The whole area south of the UKSH is crossed by many beautiful, narrow paths. This also offers a little bit of airtime.

While the nearby Kannenbruch barely has slopes, the small forest Vogelsang is traversed by some beautiful, narrow paths, which fall to the canal sometimes quite steep. The northernmost route (possibly also the easternmost route + a piece of good road) is the best way to get off the canal. The way further south are on the last piece to the canal partly so steep that I did not want to start it up. They make it even more fun towards the canal (although the leaves do not make it any easier at the moment ...) - the further south the funnier. At the marked spot there is also a well camouflaged tree stump, which gives off a quite passable kicker without a big incline. The fact that it goes downhill when approaching (from NW → SO) and also in the landing zone, but it makes more mood than it initially looks.
