Trailbuilder Days in Miltenberg: Tips for perfect MTB trails!
What's going on in the Odenwald? This year's Trailbuilder Days recently took place in Miltenberg, an exciting event that offered a platform for exchange on the topic of trail building and maintenance. As Bike-Magazin reports, over 60 participants from all over Germany with experience in trail building met to discuss the legalization and construction of trails. The event was not only an opportunity to exchange opinions and ideas, but also to learn from practical experiences and network.
The focus was particularly on the challenges and opportunities in dealing with authorities and foresters, which often play a central role in the everyday life of trail builders. The workshops and panel discussions in the Citizens' Hall of the Old Town Hall offered participants valuable insights into the developments of the MIL1 trail in Miltenberg and its subsequent integration into an extensive trail network.
Practical tips for trail building
A highlight of the event was the lecture by a representative of a planning office, who presented successful project implementations. Examples of success from Freiburg, Graubünden and the Würmtal Trails near Munich were also discussed. The discussions about traffic safety and liability played an important role, as ZIV Zweirad explained in detail. The liability of property owners and security obligations were topics that concerned many trail builders. It was shown that property owners can transfer certain obligations to the route operators through licensing agreements. Anyone who starts building trails should be aware of the responsibility.
It is clear that dangers such as broken branches after a storm must be taken into account. This is particularly true for self-created MTB trails, which are treated like normal forest paths. Necessary controls and a good signage system can significantly reduce liability. The DIMB offers extensive assistance in this regard, providing trail builders with useful guidelines.
The DIMB is also planning practice-oriented trail building courses for the coming year. The exact dates and content will soon be published on the official website. Here, future trail builders can learn how approval procedures work, which access rights apply and how to create sustainable trails DIMB.
Conclusion: The right way to the perfect trail
In conclusion, it can be said that the Trailbuilder Days in Miltenberg not only functioned as an exchange platform, but also as an impetus for the further professional development of trail building in Germany. The combination of theory and practice made it clear how important it is to deal with applicable laws and regulations. This is the only way to ensure a long-term secure and safe trail network - something that not only benefits the trail builders, but also the users.
