In Gellinghausen, you can plan a stay centred around the Green Hill Bike Park and consider the G2 Trail as another activity. The bike park offers various mountain bike routes and riding courses; for the hiking trail, there are helpful points of reference for parking and travelling by bus. When looking for accommodation, you can first work out whether mountain biking will be the main focus of your trip or whether you would also like to go hiking.
Mountain biking at the Green Hill Bike Park
The Green Hill Bike Park has eleven mountain bike routes that can be combined and are served by two parallel lifts. The facilities include flow trails, technical sections, jump lines and a practice course in the valley. These features offer different kinds of riding: you can consider whether you are most interested in flow, technical sections, jumps or practising in the valley. The routes can be combined; how you make use of this option depends on your own plans.
The bike park also offers riding courses covering basic skills, line choice, jumps, drops and speed control. So, in addition to the routes, you can choose from a range of possible riding topics to focus on. Rental bikes, helmets and protective equipment are available subject to availability; courses are also subject to booking and operating conditions. Check the park’s current status before travelling and, if needed, confirm which offers are available for your dates.
The Green Hill Bike Park is located in Gellinghausen at Gellinghausen 42–44. Parking is available on the bike park grounds. Check the address and parking arrangements before setting off. This gives you a separate point of reference for the bike park, independent of the parking information for the G2 Trail.
Information for the G2 Trail
Parking is available in central Gellinghausen for the G2 Trail, opposite the hiking information portal. Bus route S90 also serves the “Post” stop in Gellinghausen. These are two specific points of reference for planning your journey; check the bus timetables for your travel date. The information about the stop and central parking describes how to find your way around Gellinghausen, not a connection between the bike park and the hiking trail.
If you are considering combining mountain biking and hiking during your stay, you can plan for these different activities separately: the bike park focuses on combinable routes, lifts and riding courses, while the information given for the G2 Trail relates mainly to getting there and parking.
