Mountain Biking Hardenburg/Limburg Trail
#14 of 151 mountain bike trails in Germany
These trails follow the side of the ridges, and you can either stay pretty level on a particular elevation, or head up towards the ridgeline, which is what we did. Once there, you have many chances to detour off onto some singletracks and gametrails. If you follow the main trail, however, you'll eventually get to another ruins, what was once a monastary, Limburg.

From Mannheim, head south through Ludwigshafen, towards Speyer/Neustadt. Take the Bad Durkheim exit, and head straight into town. Go through town, and head towards Frankenstein. Before you get there, you'll see an enormous castle ruin, the Hardenburg. Park there, and head up to the ruins. Go through the gate and courtyard, around past the cafe, and the trailhead begins there.
I could not find the single track everyone was talking about. It was not to see the vine yards that seemed to stretch over the horizon. I think the single track for this trail is closer to the castle than the look out tower. Maybe some of the guys that gave the review can clarify the locations of these trails.
| ThankThis trail can be for beginners or experts a like. I found that if you ride through the castle and look to your left you will see a trail that is marked by a Yellow + sign. That trail is definitely not for beginners, it is for intermediate or expert. There are miles of climbs, but the downhills are awesome. Of coarse it would be easier if it was in the summer months with no leaves and ice. Fun trail with good scenery.
| ThankIt wasn't too hard a ride, too easy, too long, or too short. The scenery is good, and the ruins are some of the largest and well preserved in Germany.
