MTB in Uhrehøje
Do you want to experience nature in Himmerland in a fun and different way? Then join us on a MTB trip in Uhrehøje plantation!
If you're into MTB and looking for both speed and challenge, the Uhrehøje Plantage mountainbike trail is the right choice for you.
The exciting trail winds through varied terrain and surfaces. On the blue route, it's possible to skip the toughest loops, making it accessible to all. Just follow the blue markings where the trail forks to avoid the difficult sections. However, if you're up for the challenge, follow the red loops for the experienced, while the black loops are for experts.
The blue route is approximately 10 km long with 120 meters of elevation gain, while the entire trail including all red and black loops is about 15 km long with 230 meters of elevation gain.
Parking
You can choose to park at the large public parking lot located at Farsøvej 95. There are toilet facilities behind the large climbing tower and a water tap below the shelter area. Opposite the parking lot, there is also a technical course.
When you're ready to hop on your bike, simply follow the road to the right of the parking lot and you'll arrive directly at the MTB trail after about 100 meters.
