For the first time there will be a TrailTrophy in southern Germany in 2020: With Bischofsmais and the MTB zone Geisskopf we have a strong location and a strong partner for a two-day TrailTrophy for the final of the series at the start. The oldest German bike park, with which route construction pope Diddie Schneider virtually started his career, is the basis for an optimal enduro weekend. Because: The participants of the TrailTrophy at Geißkopf will be able to enjoy the variety of the whole mountain. This means flowing, rocky hiking trails as well as enduro stages freshly magicked into the slope or classics such as the freeride route of the bike park. All in all a perfect enduro mix, with some stages three kilometres long! Some tracks will be completed by the Bikepark team shortly before the race, so that all riders can be surprised. We are looking forward to the premiere of the TrailTrophy at Geißkopf!
