The Blockline Adventure
Three loops with about 50 km bring the mountain bikers deep into a natural world full of freedom and adventure. Not even in Canada or New Zealand could you find more impressive nature. The BLOCKLINE, (started on July 9, 2021) links breathtaking nature with exciting destinations and gastronomy in the Eastern Ore Mountains on a total of 140 km. Leisure fun for recreational athletes and families, passable with children from 8 years. The adventure handbook in the starter package maintains the excitement and, thanks to the transfers, smaller tours can be planned.
The route is completely signposted, countless signs with a dark green B on a yellow background and lovingly crafted wooden sculptures point the way. In Blockhausen, you are immersed in the fascinating world of chainsaw woodcarving. In the middle of it all is the longest table in the world, which can seat 170 people! Sawed from a single tree trunk, it is 40 meters long and is in the Guinness Book of Records.

This unique route demands the utmost from every road bike rider!
