Luckily it's not a singletrack trail, otherwise you'd have to dismount every time someone came the other way. It's certainly rideable with a city bike as well.

The Duckstein spring is a beautiful spot. The water cascades down and there are plenty of places to sit.

This is an important intersection of hiking trails on the Ahlsburg. The ridge trail is particularly beautiful.
