Last year, more people took part in our training than ever before – so
thanks for your support! This has made us even more convinced that,
as well as being great fun, training at Enduro Park Hechlingen is the
perfect way to improve your riding skills. Whether you’re a beginner or
an expert, we have the right training course for you. If you’re a novice
who doesn’t have a licence yet, our new trial training for adults is a
great way of gaining experience. If you’re into road riding and touring,
we can help you to feel more confident on rough terrain. And if you’re
a sports rider, our enthusiastic instructors can teach you the tricks of
the trade and show you how to take even the toughest conditions in
your stride.
But that’s not all. If you’ve always dreamed of going on a long tour,
our new “Touring-ready in three days” course will get you off to a
flying start.
So what are you waiting for? The team of instructors at Enduro Park
Hechlingen are looking forward to your visit.

26 HECTARES
OF UNCOMPROMISING RIDING PLEASURE.
If an enduro machine could decide where it wanted to go, it would
make a beeline for Hechlingen. There’s simply nowhere better for offroad
riders – even before you come through the entrance, you’ll feel
the excitement crackling in the air. Once you’ve experienced our steep
slopes and water crossings, and our intoxicating mix of gravel, pebbles,
sand and mud, there’ll be no stopping you.
Hechlingen is 26 hectares of sheer riding pleasure, with something
for everyone and a chance to enjoy nature up close and personal.
If you’re new to enduro sports, our highly qualified instructors will
show you the ropes, and even if you’re a veteran they can still teach
you a thing or two. You’ll also find that training under these extreme
conditions makes you even more confident in ordinary road traffic.
One thing’s for sure: a day with friends at Enduro Park Hechlingen is
an experience you’ll never forget.

WE HAVE HIGH STANDARDS.
AND SO WILL YOU AFTER
OUR TRAINING.
Standard training.
If you’ve caught the enduro bug and want to hone your skills, our
standard training will be right up your street. Designed for beginners
and advanced riders alike, it works you hard without pushing you
past your limits. The standard sessions come in four levels of difficulty,
and your personal instructor will help you choose the one that’s
right for you. You’ll learn very fast, and you’ll be very excited. If you’re
not totally hooked now, you will be when we’ve finished with you.

BECOME AN OFF-ROAD EXPERT
IN JUST ONE DAY.
One-day enduro training.
Our one-day training* offers the perfect introduction to off-road riding.
You’ll learn a lot, but you’ll also have a great time. You’ll be allocated to
a group with people of similar abilities, so there’s no chance of being
pushed too hard or not hard enough. Whether you’re new to enduro
or more experienced, team learning is a fun, relaxing way of developing
your skills, and you’ll receive individual support from our highly skilled
instructors as you face a complex variety of challenges.
Together with other off-road enthusiasts, you’ll pick up the basic principles
of enduro, like standing, using your line of sight, and braking on
rough, loose surfaces. You’ll tackle narrow, rutted tracks and short,
sharp ascents and descents, all of which will help to give you a better
feel for your machine.
* Also available over two days on request
TWO DAYS OF
UNADULTERATED
PLEASURE.
Two-day enduro training.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or have some enduro experience
under your belt, our two-day sessions are tailor-made for people like
you. You’ll be allocated to a group with people of similar abilities, and
receive intensive off-road tuition in such basic skills as riding and braking
on rough, loose surfaces. We’ll put you through your paces on long
ascents and descents and short, steep slopes, and show you how to
keep control of your bike on hills. After two days with our instructors,
you’ll have all the skills you need to go touring. And you’ll be amazed
at how much more confident you feel on ordinary roads.

FOR THE STARS OF TODAY
AND TOMORROW.
Trial training for youngsters and adults.
If it’s good enough for Mum and Dad, it’s good enough for their offspring.
Our trial training for 10 to 18-year-olds is just as exciting as the
adult version: our instructors teach youngsters to ride safely in tough
conditions while having fun and gaining confidence in themselves and
their machines. And of course, adults can try their hands at trialling too.
We defy anyone not to enjoy the pure, spontaneous excitement of
hurtling along a narrow, winding gravel track. Best of all, you don’t even
need a licence. So get out there and let rip!
Strictly for Girls.
Enduro training for women.
With more and more women discovering the joys of enduro, we’ve set
up our own special training for female riders. In this one-day session,
you’ll develop and perfect your skills in small groups, using longer offroad
rides to learn the principles of safe handling, controlled braking,
and taking bends on rough, loose surfaces. Spend a day with us, and
you’ll gain a lifetime of off-road enjoyment.

ENDURO RIDING LIKE IT SHOULD BE.
Steep hills, narrow, muddy, rutted woodland paths, and hair-raising
hills: Enduro Park Hechlingen’s challenging circuit is perfection
it-self. And our newly built X-track, with steep bends, tables and
jumps, will send adrenaline powering through the veins of even
the most hardened off-road experts.
Since we created the park, it’s become one of Europe’s leading
enduro centres. It’s been hard work. Right from the outset, we’ve
placed a major emphasis on integration with nature – which is why
we’ve won an award from the German Federal Environment Agency
for our fine example of a leisure experience which respects the
natural environment.
This extensive site consists of several practice sections and a series
of modern buildings with catering and changing facilities – so we’ve
made no compromises on quality or comfort. And you can even
borrow one of our superbly maintained bikes.
We use the following BMW Motorrad models:
ONE AND TWO-DAY ENDURO TRAINING
BMW F 650 GS, BMW F 800 GS,
BMW R 1200 GS, BMW R 1200 GS Adventure
TRAINING FOR WOMEN
BMW F 650 GS, BMW F 800 GS,

THE SPORTING LIFE.
Sports training.
If you’re looking for a challenge, you’ve come to the right place.
Our circuit and new X-track are the perfect environment in which to
do battle with a varied and exciting range of terrains. Our professional
instructors can turn an advanced sports rider into a true expert. And
our working machine is the ultra-high-traction BMW Motorrad G 450 X,
which helped Juha Salminen to second place in the world championship,
and the BMW Motorrad motorsport team to win the XCC European
championship and German Cross Country championship. It’s the
ideal way of learning to read the terrain and maintain perfect control of
the bike.

steep bends, tables and jump, and then you’ll work intensively with
professionals from the BMW Motorrad motorsport team on legendary
routes like the Erzberg. You’ll push yourself and your machine to the
limit, learning the skills you need to perfect your off-road technique.

TOURING-READY IN
THREE DAYS.
There’s no better way of discovering a foreign country than on a
motorcycle tour. Leave your worries behind you, pack your bag, hit the
open road and feel the wind in your hair. But you don’t have to spend
months trekking the world’s highways and byways to enjoy a thrilling
experience on your bike: even a weekend tour can give you a whole
new sense of freedom and adventure. On our new three-day touring
workshop at Enduro Park Hechlingen, you’ll work with our instructors
and experts from adventure touring specialist Touratech to acquire all
the key skills you need.

best. With the help of our outstanding team of guides and instructors,
you’ll live the adventure of a lifetime.
Bon voyage!

EXPERIENCE THE ENDURO
IN ITS NATURAL HABITAT.
Enduro tour: Tunisia.
Tunisia’s deserts are heart-stoppingly beautiful. Your route takes you
across boulder-strewn scree, through the passes of the Dahar
Mountains and little settlements like the cave village of Chenini.
Further south, you’ll ride through a series of small dunes, and then the
high dunes of the Erg Oriental. You’ll spend a night under the stars, an
unforgettable Saharan experience.
Next day, you’ll visit the oasis of Ksar Ghilane and bathe in its springfed
waters. After a half-day rest, a challenging stage takes you across a
band of dunes, back into the mountains and along narrow tracks to the
cave village of Matmata, where you’ll spend the night. You’ll make your
way back to Djerba along narrow, sandy or tarred mountain roads and
traversing a variety of landscapes.
22 23

BEAUTY IS RELATIVE.
WELL, USUALLY.
Enduro tour: Sardinia.
This unique island, the second largest in the Mediterranean, offers
some of the most varied and spectacular enduro touring you’ll find
anywhere. With its winding mountain roads and passes and lonely
beaches, it’s ideally suited both to beginners and expert riders, and we
offer extremely varied enduro tours.
From your base at a hotel on the picturesque Costa del Sud, you’ll
set off for a tour with a wide variety of challenging conditions. There’s
the breathtakingly sinuous coast road, with its panoramic views of
small sandy bays, dramatic rock formations and demanding passes.
Off-road, you’ll use gravel tracks and country paths to explore the
island’s beautiful countryside, mountain streams, meadows and
massive rocky outcrops. And there will also be time to discover the
delights of Sardinia’s traditional restaurants.
This tour is particularly suitable for couples or friends with different
skill levels.
24 25

ALPINE HUTS.
Departing from Munich, the Enduro Park Hechlingen instructors will
lead you southwards on your GS. Your route takes you along narrow
surfaced and gravel roads – you’ll be surprised at just how different the
land-scape becomes so close to the big city. You’ll continue in small
groups through the beautiful Tyrol to Italy, on long-forgotten but very
scenic unsurfaced country roads carefully selected by our experienced
in-structors for your enjoyment.
While the off-road component is limited, we promise you an unforgettably
exciting tour, using the back-to-basics approach of staying in
mountain huts.
26 27

THE CALL OF THE MOUNTAINS.
Enduro tour: Maritime Alps.
This highlight of our enduro tour programme takes you through
a series of spectacular mountain passes, countless bends, spinejuddering
gravel tracks, deep valleys and high mountains to a height
of over 3,000 metres, well above the snow line. This unforgettably
exciting experience will appeal to experienced enduro riders.
28 29

THE LURE OF THE WILDERNESS.
Enduro tour: Hungary.
Discover one of Europe’s oldest cultural landscapes on your enduro
bike: the Puszta, or Great Hungarian Plain. Many parts of this prairie
region alongside the blue Danube have changed little for centuries,
and its horizons are seemingly endless. You’ll receive a warm welcome
from the people in the delightful little villages and towns along the way,
and succumb to the charm of the countryside and its inhabitants. And
with an average of 280 days of sunshine a year, the weather shouldn’t
be too much of a worry. Your route across the plain consists mainly of
sandy and woodland tracks – ideal conditions for an unforgettable
enduro tour.
MECKLENBURG
ENDURO TOUR.
Many parts of north Germany’s Mecklenburg region are sparsely
populated, and therefore ideal for exploring on an enduro bike.
This tour, a succession of old sandy paths, winding forest trails
and near-impassable disused roads, is Germany at its very best.
