Here you have a fantastic view of Freiburg. Above all, some great trails start here - officially built by Mountainbike Freiburg e. V.: the "Baden to the Bone", the "Hubbelfuchs" and the legendary "Boarderline Downhill".

Borderline Section 5

After the first, very rough sections, the borderline first becomes flatter, tamer and more flowing (you can also only get on the trail here). Then the jump line follows, which …

May 15, 2023,Matschige Borderline

The borderline was pretty muddy and slippery today after all the rain of the last few days 😮
It's a good thing that the upper part is nice and flat and easy to get used to the conditions - uh, not 😅 Well, once you've survived section 1, it gets better! Whereby the puddles today were more likely to be …

March 12, 2025,Wednesday, foggy tour🚵‍♀️😶‍🌫️💦🔦

A short ride up the Roßkopf, continuing on a single trail to the Ochsenlager. Downhill Canadian trail. Even uphill, no view on the blocked trails. After a rainy day, it's nice to get outside and clear my head. 🚵‍♀️🍺😀✌️

July 19, 2021,Some of Freiburgs finest: Borderline + Hexentrail

Today we combined my two favorite trails in Freiburg: The - especially in the uppermost part - the very rough and demanding borderline, which for me continues to be one of the hottest trails in Germany. Especially since it changes its character several times over the course of the journey: after the very brutal and steep opening section, there is …

May 14, 2025,Mittwochsbiken 🚵‍♀️😫☀️😎✌️

St. Peter was planned. My friend got a flat tire, barely got going. A thumbtack stuck in the tire. Pumped it up again. It went flat again after 1 km. Put in a new tube.
Only rode up to Roßkopf, Ochsenlager, and Streckereck. Back via Ochsenlager on a small trail, then Borderline to the youth hostel. Finished in the Ganter …

October 23, 2024,Mittwochsbiken, chillig 🚵🏻‍♂️🥱🍺

Snake path up the Roßkopf, ox camp, small trail down, borderline after 1/3 down, Bayern's downfall at Barca with beer, then political topics, downfall of Germany by right-wing parties, with beer. Comparisons to the 20s, 30s. Haven't you learned anything from history? When we think of America, we become even more afraid and anxious 🫣

It's really cheeky: 😜
After we have ridden the Canadian we stand downstairs and briefly discuss “what’s next”. My cousin from Freiburg recommends the “Borderline” as a nice addition for today. “The start of the climb is less than 10 minutes from here”.

February 19, 2025,slow motion micro tour 🚵‍♀️😀🍺

Wednesday, leisurely MTB ride through the Wiehre to the youth hostel. Completely chilled on the Roßkopf. High up on the Roßkopfturm. Enjoying the beautiful view. On small trails to the beer. Colder at 8 p.m. than at midnight. Spring is coming tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it 🚵‍♀️😀🍺✌️
