Shredding the Peaks of Bad Laasphe:
Bike-Paradise in the Mountains
The MTB Laasphe gang's got a wild plan brewing up in Bad Laasphe, Germany. They're building an intense Mountainbike-Anlage Wittgensteins, a cool spot for thrilling bike riders spread across 8,000 square meters. This badass park won't be just a playground for cycling fanatics, but a place that combines safety, exercise, and training. Prepare for rock gardens, sweet jumps, nail-biting turns, and an adrenaline-pumping flow trail worthy of any adrenaline junkie.
This ambitious project, dubbed the "NATURE Sport and Fun Park," is set to shake up the town with a hefty investment of around 150,000 euros. Now, here's the kicker—98,000 euros of this loot comes from LEADER funding, as announced by the LAG Region Wittgenstein. The MTB Laasphe folks are optimistic about unveiling the action-packed facility by the end of this year.
