Neufundland – ein neu gefundenes Mountainbike-Eldorado?
Hört man vom Mountainbike-Sport in Kanada denken die allermeisten Radbegeisterten vermutlich unweigerlich an kanadische Kultfahrradmarken, British Columbia und das vermeintliche Mekka des Mountainbikens – Whistler. Ob sich das über Neufundland sagen lässt, habe ich versucht herauszufinden…

3 days in Paradise, riding trails that you never visited before, discover the most beautiful spots of the Alps, share good times with your friends and people you’ve just meet around beers, and suffer on your bike just enough to make the trip unforgettable.
“Trailen” wie Gott in Frankreich!
Das Fahrrad ist alleine schon deshalb ein hervorragendes Sportgerät, da es einem Naturerlebnisse bescheren kann, wie es keine andere Sportart hinbekommt. Was bietet sich folglich mehr an, als eine in Mountainbikerkreisen noch eher unerschlossene Region auszukundschaften…
… fast wie zu Hause, was für ein tolles Gefühl …
Vor zwei Wochen waren wir gestartet, damals noch luxuriös und mit allen Annehmlichkeiten, die ein in Mitteleuropa aufgewachsener Menschen so kennt. Damals … hört sich das lange an. Aber es lagen vielleicht auch Welten dazwischen, seit wir vor zwei Wochen in der Atacama-Wüste gestartet waren.

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.
