My passion is Mountainbiking. That’s why I spent every last minute of late summer days enjoying nature on my bike, absorbing that sweet adrenalin. Me and my buddies from our Flow Valley Crew get out there every free second of our time and explore the most spectacular Bavarian Alpine Trails on our bikes.
If you would also like to explore the mountains on your bike, accompanied by some the crispy fall weather, here you can find a couple of tips I have prepared for you. You can feel the thrill and action in the Ammergau Alps, Wetterstein Mountains, in Isarwinkel, Allgäu or Chiemgau. And according to your abilities, you can choose between easy, medium and hard trails.
Have fun and enjoy your ride 😉
