Experiencing nature together: As the DIMB, we promote nature- and socially-friendly mountain biking. In addition to cyclists, other nature enthusiasts also benefit from the positive effects of nature. Respect, mutual understanding, and consideration for one another are essential. We promote ongoing dialogue and advocate for open communication. Only in this way can all users enjoy nature together without problems and on equal footing. We love nature, want to preserve it, and stand for sustainable action
Open Trails: As an advocacy group for mountain bikers, we are fundamentally committed to ensuring that optimal conditions for practicing our sport are created and maintained. Ensuring the usability of existing trail infrastructure in open terrain is our core concern. To this end, we regularly engage in dialogue with all stakeholders at the federal and state levels. We advise the MTB community, local governments, and the tourism sector on the creation of legal MTB trails.
More trails close to home: At the same time, we take action ourselves by creating official additional MTB trails. The operation of MTB trails near urban areas is a response to the social changes of our time. These trails improve quality of life, promote health, support sustainable practices, offer economic benefits, and build community. A win-win situation for all stakeholders. Currently, twelve trails owned by DIMB are in operation.
