From: BIKING ARCHIVE - Mountain biking in the Bavarian Forest
QUOTE
The low mountains of the Bavarian Forest provide the ideal conditions for sports-minded cyclists. 18 way-marked circular routes - all identified with their different lengths and difficulties - lure you into the green heart of Europe. The whole area lies in the Bavarian Forest National Park. All routes are way marked with the numbers given in the route descriptions, as well as direction marked. For the most part the routes run on forest tracks, which apart from forestry vehicles, are not used by any traffic. Asphalted tracks alternate with well-built, metalled paths. Every route starts and ends at the railway station in Zwiesel. Cycles travel free on all trains throughout the region. The new brochure "Mountain biking in the Zwiesel area" contains 18 routes each with a precise description and a gradient profile. It is available for a nominal fee of 4 DM from the Spa and Tourist Information Centre in Zwiesel, Stadtplatz 27, 94227 Zwiesel, Tel. +49 (0) 9922/840523, Fax +49 (0) 9922/5655, e-mail: zwiesel.tourist@t-online.de.
