Irchel Tower

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful view of the wine country and with a clear view of the Alps. The view compensates for the steep ascent by bike to the foot of the tower. For the hungry, it has two fireplaces and different seating.

Dättliker Downhill Trail

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

It is really uncomfortably slippery to impassable when wet in certain places, but it was a lot of fun after a few dry days. But it is rather demanding.

In conflict, there can also be cozy and sunny times. A front is usually announced even when it rains.

What warning lights can you see in your conflicts?

Today's April day is characterized by changing weather. This is also the case in life and when traveling with other people.
Which feeling is the right one?

On the descent, I touched a branch, which then moved between the bike, wheels and legs. At the moment I only had the emergency exit.

In the long term, I wonder what part do I have in the situation that I have a gag between my legs?

How often do you envy others who are able to do just that?
Ask yourself when you will open up and move so that you experience this too?

Beautiful tour at a pleasant temperature. 3 beautiful trails, graded S1, are easy to ride, although one is more of an S2 with two sets of stairs.

The four of us were weatherproof. Wet, slippery, fun and happy.
In addition to the white roots, we thought about what happens when joy is rare and it may have to be looked for

Do you want to go with me too?
