Nice technical trail with a few jumps and a lot of downhill with roots. A few downhill sections in between. 100% recommended, but not for beginners. Doable with a bit of experience.

At this former stop, there is still a very well-maintained waiting shelter that can provide protection from wind and weather.

Unfortunately, large wooden fences block the path here as well. Cyclists seem to be very unwelcome in this area.
