Hailloh


Every spring and every autumn we visit my aunt at Schnaittach. The Hailloh is a forest there where we always ride our bikes. The location is really called Hailloh, which I think is rather weird. Think of the military chant, Hail oh Hail oh Infantry or Hail LOH (Legions Of Hell)! Let's hope the place isn't haunted. The word hail should indicate that it's a good place and loh in old German could mean that you can gather oak bark for tanning, which makes sense although it may not be the correct explanation.

Manny, Birgit great vacation!
This tail or trail look really fun and obviously occupied by other bikers as the trails look very can.

Great video and very cool music!

The Hailloh is so close to the village you don't even need a car to get there. Once a year there is a 12-hour XC race and kids go the Hailloh to ride their BMX bikes, but also runners, walkers and even horse riders use the tracks and trails. So you can find all sorts of people doing different things, in the summer you can also go swimming, but it doesn't get crowded, because the forest is big enough.

I can see that! You're so lucky to have that smooth, flowy trail to RideOn!

Hahaha, it's only 650 km away! But there are many other cool locations where my aunt lives, like the Rothenberg or the bike park Osternohe!
