The Kid's MTB network Bären Runde (black) is an integral part of the mountain bike route network in Willingen, a well-known vacation region in the Rothaargebirge. This regional cycle tour, designed as a circular route and precisely signposted, allows cyclists and their companions to adapt the route flexibly. Willingen, known for its diverse outdoor offers and family-friendly orientation, offers attractive terrain here.
The requirement profiles are to be understood as orientation values and can vary individually. Adult supervision is essential and the use of mountain bikes is mandatory. You are responsible for riding the trails; coexistence with hikers and occasional vehicle traffic is possible.
The start of the tour includes a challenging climb that requires a certain level of fitness. This is followed by a flowing single trail that leads to above Schwalefeld and impressively showcases the natural experience of Upland. A strategically located junction near the lift route also connects this route with the red bear tour, which opens up further options.
Information
Directions
The black bear goes back to Willingen via the Orenberg ski jump. When it's training time, you can see the Willingen children practising on the summer ski jump. And who knows, maybe the mountain bike kids will also enjoy ski jumping training. The tour is black because there is a somewhat trickier descent after the Orenbergschanze, but with the right speed this can also be managed.
Equipment
We recommend a helmet, functional cycling clothing suitable for the weather, a rucksack with food and drink, sufficient fluids (water, tea), an air pump, a repair kit and a multi-tool.
