If an enduro bike could choose, it would go to Hechlingen. It’s not for nothing that the BMW Motorrad Enduro Park Hechlingen is regarded as the number one address for off-road motorcyclists. Even before you enter the grounds you can feel the enthusiasm of the off-road fans hanging in the air. And there’s no stopping anyone whose ever been in on the action here – over steep descents, water crossings, gravel, stones, sand and mud. Hechlingen is 26 hectares of sheer riding pleasure, with something for everyone and a chance to enjoy nature up close and personal. If you’re new to enduro sports, our highly qualified instructors will show you how it’s done, and even if you’re a veteran they can still teach you a thing or two.

One thing’s for sure: a day with friends at Enduro Park Hechlingen is an experience you’ll never forget. 6 7 The Park The Park REAL ENDURO RIDING IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST STEPPING ON THE GAS. Steep descents, muddy single tracks, rutted forest trails, and hairraising hills: Enduro Park Hechlingen’s challenging circuit has got a bit of everything. And our X-Track, with banked corners, table tops and jump, will send adrenaline powering through the veins of even the most hardened off-road experts. Since the park opened, a lot of hard work has gone into making it one of Europe’s leading enduro centres. Right from the outset, we made respect for the natural environment a key priority – and we’ve got an award from the German Federal Ministry for the Environment to prove it. As well as the various riding courses, the site is also home to a complex of modern buildings with catering and changing facilities, so you won’t have to compromise on comfort either. And as you would expect, all the bikes available for you to ride meet the same high standards.

Even experienced off-roaders will find out about the effects of slight shifts in weight, how to explore the limits and what can be done to hone riding technique. What is more, every Trail Training requires a lot of stamina and is enormous fun. Our instructors show the little ones some of the big tricks – in a way that is appropriate to children, so there’s lots of fun to be had. The Trail Training is the best way for motorcyclists who’ve never ridden off-road to get a taste of the experience. The light 4-stroke 300 cc trial bikes are perfect for learning off-road riding the straightforward, hands-on way. More than anything else, trail riding is lots of fun – no matter whether you’re an off-road beginner or a professional. 21 Travel Workshop Travel Workshop TOURING-READY IN JUST ONE WEEKEND.
