Galtur, a municipality in the Austrian state of Tyrol, has been planning to build a trail park for some time now. But the project has been criticized from various sides from the very beginning. Now there is a new attempt to realize the trail park.
\nThe idea behind a trail park is to provide mountain bikers with an opportunity to improve their skills on technically demanding trails and to test their limits. But in Galtur, there were reservations about the project even when the first concept was submitted in 2016. Conservationists in particular criticized that the trail park would encroach too much on the ground.
\nA complaint from the provincial environmental ombudsman’s office finally ensured that the project was stopped for the time being. But the municipality of Galtur is not giving up and is now planning a renewed attempt to realize the trail park.<\/p>\n

New start for trail park Galtur<\/h2>\n

\nIn Galtur, there has been a desire for a trail park for mountain bikers for several years now. There were already plans to build such a park in 2014, but they were not implemented due to objections from the provincial environmental ombudsman’s office. <\/p>\n

\nNow there is a new attempt for the trail park. The municipality has presented a new concept that addresses the concerns of the environmental ombudsman’s office. For example, there will be no encroachment on protected areas and the route will be adapted to minimize the impact on fauna and flora. <\/p>\n

\nThe trail park should not only be an attraction for mountain bikers, but also interesting for hikers. For example, hiking trails are also to be integrated into the trail park in order to create a varied offering for all users. <\/p>\n
