New pump track in Hosterwitz: guaranteed fun for young and old!

In Dresden-Hosterwitz you can now discover the new attraction for young and old: a more powerful pump track was ceremoniously opened. After the closure of the old, dilapidated pump track, which no longer met safety standards, the population was looking for a new opportunity for exercise and leisure activities. City district office manager Christian Barth was extremely satisfied with the result at the opening and praised the efforts of the city and the trainees who worked on this project.

The new pump track is not only suitable for different age groups, but also for a range of vehicles, from balance bikes to professional bikes. With an investment volume of 52,000 euros, which also includes the adjacent playground with climbing options and swings, the city is providing a low-threshold exercise option. “Here in Hosterwitz we have an optimal area for such a system,” explains Barth. When designing the playground, the recommendations of young people who already had experience with pump tracks were used, as well as the expert advice of the German Initiative Mountainbike e.V. interest group. v.
