Welcome to the realm of Vero - Häxuland

Here you can learn all the important riding skills you need to become a good mountain biker. At Vero, there are five different tests to "ride through" (green, blue, red, black and orange).

If you can safely master the red level, you are ready for the Häxutrail (Route 157) and Nesselloop (Route 158) trails!

Please observe the Mountain Bike Code.

Trails

Green Herbs - length: 170 m
The easiest trail in Häxuland. You can warm up and familiarise yourself with the mountain bike over easy, flat and undulating meadow passages. You will gain the first skills for your mountain bike skills here. The next challenges in Häxuland are already waiting!
In the valley of stones - length: 80 m
Vero wasn't very careful when practising with the magic wand and set stones rolling, which you now have to skilfully ride around and over. The trail runs in two different lines between large rocks. You can also test your riding skills on stony ground on the "Rock Roller".
Häxu Drops - length: 40 m
Whether larger stones on natural trails or built elements, small and larger steps - so-called "drops" - can be found on practically all trails. On the Drop Line, you can practise these at different heights so that you are optimally prepared for these situations on the trail. Take note of the tips and tricks at the start ramp.
Snake trail - length: 220 m
To get back to the start, you have to pedal up the six bends of the snake trail to the start. The big Häxubäsu awaits you behind the covered magic carpet.
Shortcut for master students - length: 35 m
If you want to get back to the start faster and more directly, you can shorten the snake path twice. However, it also gets steeper and more technical!
The bewitched eye of the needle - length: 115 m
Being able to move your rear wheel with the help of the front brake and an active torso movement is a must-have on many trails. The increasingly tighter curve radii help you to get used to such situations step by step.
The insidious rock garden - length: 90 m
Rock gardens are a recurring feature on trails and add some spice to the riding. With two different lines (red and black), you can practise rolling over rocks and line selection.
The magical Häxu Jumps - length: 160 m
What would Häxuland be without the opportunity to learn to fly? The mountain bike becomes your broom on the Häxu Jumps! On the blue line on the left, you can try your hand at jumping. The red line on the right offers a lot more air time. The jumps are also great for practising tricks and jumping transfers.
Magic Rock - length: 20 m
The most difficult test awaits on the terrifying Magic Rock. Only experts should attempt this one. A steep wooden ramp leads you up. As soon as you reach the top, it's just as steep down again. Take a look at the magic rock before you conquer it on your mountain bike.
