Popular flow trail in the Hessian Spessart Nature Park, Hesse.
The Don Bosco Trail is considered the most beginner- and family-friendly of the three Bad Orber flow trails. While the Wintersberg Trail and the Haseltal Trail are recommended for more experienced mountain bikers, the Don Bosco Trail is a little more leisurely. The demands on riding technique are low, as is the gradient (87 metres downhill over a good 3.5 km). As with all natural mountain bike trails, you should also expect to encounter small, natural obstacles such as roots or slippery sections on the Don Bosco Trail.
Highlights of the route:
- Family-friendly flow trail
