A beautiful, challenging trail, not for beginners; some basic technical knowledge is required. There are several points with two difficulty levels (root sections, deep gullies, high drops, and a few jumps as well). Access is possible via several routes. A helmet is mandatory on the trail, but it's best to wear protective gear (there are a few tricky spots). It's best to just read the information board; it tells you everything you need to know.
