Project description:

In the municipality of Schwarzenbek, two modular pump tracks in the fiberglass version contribute to even more exercise. In the immediate vicinity of the municipality's skate park - a perfect mix, in our opinion. The practice straight provides the ideal introduction for the first feeling on a pump track and can also be used in a wheelchair thanks to the extra wide track. The circular course in the World Cup layout promises additional variety and fast curves. The wider track makes the green waves safer, but at the same time it also enables higher speeds.

target group:

You don't necessarily need four wheels or a driver's license to experience speed and a little thrill. You can do a lot more with a bike than just get to work or school (...) The pump track is intended to be a new social meeting place for young people, but of course also for all other Schwarzenbek residents. It can be used with all roller sports equipment at all skill levels and age groups from 3 years upwards. Even experienced wheelchair users can experience the flow on the extra-wide waves.

Location & Size

The World Cup with a length of over 65 meters and the practice straight are located on a skate park and are therefore an ideal addition to the existing offer

Special feature:

Inclusion, yes please Kids and young people in wheelchairs don't want to play on separate, specially made play equipment. They want to be part of it. On the Modular Pumptrack, everyone rides on the same track, in the same direction, at the same speed. Everyone on their own wheels!

Between Maria Alm and Hinterthal: Seven kilometers of touring fun – two new trails – one destination

What do you do when a popular biking area borders sensitive refuges – and at the same time, two places need to be better connected for tourism? The answer: a carefully planned infrastructure that protects nature and facilitates recreation. Five years of work have created a 7.3 km mountain bike connection between Maria Alm and Hinterthal with approximately 300 meters of elevation gain, as well as two new single trails – well-thought-out, close to nature, and future-oriented.

Trail maintenance in Armenia: Sharing knowledge and preserving trails

Whether it's a hiking trail, bike trail, or shared trail: A functioning route requires more than construction – it requires maintenance. In Armenia, we trained local crews to enable long-lasting, low-maintenance, and environmentally friendly infrastructure. As ALLEGRA, we have been offering such courses for years: in Switzerland, Scandinavia, and around the world. Because only those who understand how a trail works can maintain it.
