The MAGIC-12 Thüringen 2027
May 22, 2027: Thuringia, Germany – a still little-known motorcycle region. Yet this area offers endless curves, green forests, and quiet roads through the Thuringian Forest. The villages along the way make it a fairytale-like region to ride through.
The 2027 edition of the IBA Magic 12 will take place in this region. You choose your own starting point and plan your route during the week before the event, once you receive the Rally Book from the Rally Master. You can then plan your route through the Thuringian Forest, via Zella-Mehlis or Oberhof, or from Katzhütte to Bad Blankenburg.
You start at 6 and finish before 18.00 in Ilmenau for the group dinner and the closing ceremony.
