This trail can be flown downhill as Downhil. Whether Hard-Tail or Fully, both get their money's worth.
As a Uphill a warm up direction Clarashöh (Hard Line Klippkes Trail) or the Broch Flowtrail.

Super nice path that initially goes uphill, but not too steep, later becoming relatively flat

Varied hiking trail with forest and meadow sections, partly on a hillside and therefore occasional views.

Seen as departure. In the upper area quite easy and good to drive on. After the jump there are more roots and narrow places, much more demanding. It is important to pay attention to the pedal position there, in the narrow areas you get stuck with a steep lateral slope, and you also have some strong roots that can hit the pedal. After a dip in the lower area keep right because there are slate and roots on the left/middle. Drive carefully at this time of year.
