Any ideas?

Joomla!:   2.5.28
VM:   2.0.22a
PHP:   5.3.29

Your VM is totally out of date and insecure

have you translated them all ?  later VM's have English fallback

turn off SEF so you can actually see what is happening

your link just gives->  This web page has a redirect loop

3rd party SEF rubbish installed?

give a link to an actual cat that doesn't work instead of to your 404!

That 404 isn't one I recognise?  Is it joomla generated?

No.

but it isn't a 404 problem .. it is a redirect loop

try with htaccess disabled, sef off etc etc
your non sef url doesn't help at all .. that is the 404

what is the non sef link that it should be?

why have you some products with no ext on your product urls?

e.g. https://www.mindtecstore.com/de/mbody 

they should be

https://www.mindtecstore.com/de/mbody-detail or similar  -- that is why that config is there.. to prevent url clashes

quite possibly you have 2 identical sef generated links

but unless you switch off all sef and test no one can know

Your problem might be the result of an empty suffix field in your VirtueMart Configuration > SEO tab > Seo Suffix. You should enter something there, e.g. htm, html or whatever you want. Default is -detail. If this is missing, the router which builds the SEF urls might produce hickups.

Also make sure that all menu items have the correct English or German language assigned (should not be set to 'All'.
