Mountainbikepark Pfälzerwald – 900 km of Signed MTB Tours in the Palatinate Forest
20 signed tours, about 900 km with up to 25% singletrail – free to ride all year
About
The Mountainbikepark Pfälzerwald is one of the largest signed mountain bike tour networks in Germany, spread across the Palatinate Forest biosphere reserve in Rhineland-Palatinate. It is run by the Mountainbikepark Pfälzerwald e.V., an association of local municipalities and partners, and is made for touring riders rather than enduro or downhill fans.
20 waymarked tours – with up to 25% singletrail – cover around 900 km in three areas: around Johanniskreuz in the centre of the forest, along the Haardt edge at the Südliche Weinstraße, and in the Wasgau with its red sandstone rocks. Every signpost shows the tour number, direction and difficulty (easy, medium or hard), and the 90 km Trans Pfälzerwald with 2,000 m of climbing links it all together. The tours are free to ride all year round, and you can order the printed tour map for free.
For more gravity, the network also includes the Bikepark Trippstadt with flow and big air lines and a pump track, the Bikepark Dahn, the new Flowtrail Landstuhl and the singletrail course in Hochspeyer. Local guides and bike rental shops in the region are listed on the association’s website. In 2026 the Mountainbikepark Pfälzerwald won the Bike Spirit Award in the category “Bike-Erlebnis”.
