7 great blue trails for your MTB holiday  

Silkeborg
In Vesterskoven near Silkeborg, magic has been created in the forest floor on the 17 km long and very well-built trail that winds through the beautiful forest. Especially look forward to Denmark's longest blue descent.  

Viborg
Near Viborg, you can wind your way through the beautiful, quiet spruce forest on the 8 kilometre long blue trail in Stendal. You can also try the trail in Stanghede, which is unique because you cycle through open heathland on natural ground and via natural paths and animal crossings. The trail is 11 kilometres long. You can meet grazing cows here. In both Stendal and Stanghede you avoid difficult built elements.

Randers
Around Randers you will find many good blue trails. The trail at the lake Fussing Sø is 16 kilometres long and surrounded by large old trees. Are you more into short tracks and more laps? Then choose the Månedalen (Moon Valley). It is not technically demanding, but you will be challenged by roots and a few steep hills.

Aarhus
On the trail in Hasle Bakker in western Aarhus, you can try your hand at berms, hairpin turns and singletrack in varied terrain. Stop along the way and enjoy the beautiful views of Aarhus. The track is 5 kilometres long. There are technical and physically demanding red loops that you can easily cycle around.  

Trails for the flow lover

Difficulty level: Advanced MTB riders.

You know it's flow when you feel it. Experience it - whether you're new to the sport or a seasoned trail shredder - on a series of awesome flow trails in East Jutland.  

Marselisborg Forest is one of Denmark's oldest and hottest trails on the outskirts of Aarhus. There are great ascents and descents in the large beech forest that stretches southwards along the coast. In addition to the long ascents and descents, you can be challenged on the more technically demanding sections such as ‘Ymers Mave’ and ‘Stairway to Heaven’.

Northwest of Viborg, you'll find the fun and well-built track, Undallslund, in a plantation with giant noble fir trees, beech forest and open forest meadows with lake and bog. If you have extra strength in your legs, you can fine-tune your skills in a cool technical area. Continue to Stendalen in Viborg Trail Arena. Here, the lovely blue track provides a good flow through the beautiful, quiet forest. You'll get your heart rate up even though the trail has no difficult elements.  

Silkeborg Bikepark is designed by the best international trail builders. Here you can fine-tune your technique and let loose on the cool flow and jump lines.

The track in Vesterskoven is also a fantastic flow track that will keep you entertained from start to finish. You might shed a tear of joy - because in Vesterskoven, magic has truly been created for the flow lover.
