Red Bull Erzbergrodeo - The Iron Giant and its Heroes

The toughest enduro race in the world


Every year in June, the Styrian Erzberg transforms into a mecca for 1500 motorcyclists from around the world - but only a handful of them make it to the finish line. The Erzbergrodeo began in 1995 as a small, local event but quickly developed into an international highlight on the off-road calendar. The terrain of the massive iron ore mine offers a unique and extremely challenging backdrop that demands everything from the riders and provides spectacular images.


Motorsport expert Werner Jessner sheds light on the fascinating 30-year history of the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo: the most successful riders, the festival atmosphere, and how seemingly crazy ideas can turn out to be a driving force and beacon of hope for the local economy.
