A lovely route, also suitable for walking. It's also good for older people, as the paths always lead back parallel to each other. I particularly like the small side paths leading down to the Ilmenau river.

The trail descends from the Hasenburg path in the Schattenwald forest toward the Hasenburger Mühlenbach stream. Anyone venturing down this path by bike will need to be physically active (see photos)...because there are numerous tree trunks lying across the path (a woman with a dog was surprised by the look we saw and said she'd seen people with bikes here before...). At times, we had to carry the bikes across in pairs or push them under them. Despite everything...a beautiful route

Trail directly along the stream - I stopped counting at 10 trees lying in the path... It would be nice to ride - if it weren't for the many trees along the path... So that means: ride a short distance - carry the bike over a tree - then ride another short distance - then carry the bike over another tree, etc.

With the MTB it is much more fun to ride the narrow trail that is next to the main path! You won't reach top speed there, because the trail is very narrow and offers a lot of zigzags! So look at the small entrances!
