E-Mountainbiking

Actively enjoy the impressive nature! With the e-mountain bikes you drive environmentally friendly through the entire Tuxertal. The valley can be explored without sweating and more breath is left to marvel at the mountain panorama! Should the battery run out, you will find numerous e-mountainbike charging stations distributed throughout the valley.

Particularly popular: Bike & Hike - with a e-mountainbike you first go comfortably up to the mountain pasture and then in hiking boots to the top of the mountain peak - a perfect combination. The idea behind it: the long forest road is comfortably overcome with the e-mountainbike and the last climb to the mountain top is done on foot. After a unique summit experience, it's back to the valley on an e-mountain bike.
