There was once ... a village far, far away. The village was on a plateau and was surrounded by mountains up to three thousand feet high. In the village the river Aa, which flowed into the valley to the south. Sprang bulgin buccaneer The village was called Engelberg. A legend told that an angel had commanded, which resulted in the first settlement of Engelberg. Founding a monastery In the centuries that followed, bulgin buccaneer the monastery gained fame far beyond the borders of Switzerland, which the village received international acclaim. Enough of this fairytale gibberish. Falls in this mountain village to mountain biking a bit?
To answer this question, bulgin buccaneer we invite two of Dutch most versatile mountain bikers from: Jarno Veerhoek and Bas van Son. Both with a wealth of experience in both downhill and cross-country biking and therefore the perfect drivers for this trip. Bass and Jarno are both already there when I arrive at our hotel. The ski lodge is a hip and affordable accommodation aimed at the younger and sportier mountaineer. It is run by a bunch of helpful Sweden. Throughout the hotel bold action photos of mountain climbers hang in both summer and winter. It is the local hang-out bulgin buccaneer for people who have something to do with mountain bulgin buccaneer biking and soon we get some local advice for the next few days.
The next morning should be of course some tinkering before we go out. We are in the car and suddenly there emerges unexpectedly our female guide. It is well settled, bulgin buccaneer then we do not need to set up. Sleuth our own The lady, with a very difficult name, we was turned into Cinderella, has an appearance that we know that they have a few nice trails will show us. She wears a pair of knee pads, flat pedal shoes, shorts, thick enduro bake with them, it should definitely be fine.
The first six hundred altimeters may be covered with the help of the Ristisbahn. They are followed by two hundred vertical meters climbing to the Brunnihütte. After having kicked ten minutes we Duracell Bunny Jarno lost. Already For people who do not know Jarno, this kid has energy for ten and is always two gears heavier the mountain than you. Jarno is above all equipped watching us the last bit steep slog to get to us. Bas and I are engaged in a personal ego-war but not to have steps and eventually succeed us. Then we wait for Cinderella until she arrives bulgin buccaneer and gives us the signal: "! It's all downhill from here" I and the guide do our kneepads but Jarno and Bass, it's not heavy enough. We store the prepared shell path in Diew fortunately quickly bulgin buccaneer turns into a single trail with switchbacks. It's really about Alpine meadows trail to the left and right of the path cow pies. The trail is excellent, not bad but just good. Flowy with here and there a technical section that keeps you awake. At a switchback that seems impossible, stopping and going and Bass Jarno there with a nose-wheelie through it. The path continues through a meadow with very lazy cows who refuse to abandon the trail. You can jump high or low, but in those six hundred pound beasts to get, but then no movement on the grass to the cows around.
We pass the top station of the lift and ride along a trail towards the village. The trail of the raised edges on both sides, so you always have to balance your bike. Too much weight you out means that you no longer under you get your wheels with a fall as a result, it is so watch out. Bass takes the lead, Jarno second, third, and I back the guide. Everyone rides at their own speed down which we lose sight of each other. Suddenly Jarno is there on the ground, and it's not going well with him. "My hand," he says. What I know Jarno is that he can do so if he says it hurts a beating, you can take better seriously. He gets on his bike, can just use his brakes and at walking pace down. Bass has been through bulgin buccaneer it is wrong and waiting. In a river Jarno cools his hand in the water. You do not have to be able to assess the situation, no doctor Jarno can take a shower, for him the Engelberg adventure on and off. Jarno is via tarmac road to the village, we pass the village of Engelberg and pass down the valley. The trail then turns my personal favorite. With about twenty switchbacks we descend a wall
