New stuff

Petzen guys are aware that one trail does not make a bike park and that guests will not keep returning on this trail that is not the most demanding even if it the longest and best of its kind. So there are plans to start building new trails. It’s been a long winter and they had a lot of maintenance to do on the existing trail so they didn’t start the construction of new ones yet.

They will be adding new sections throughout the season. Besides the missing part of the Flow country trail they will also be building new trails for the more demanding riders. Read: less flow, more boom-bang.
