May 3, 2026, Downhill Trail Steigerwald

Even though it turns sharply to the right, I would recommend this path. The path straight ahead becomes quite narrow with a lot of scree.

As of February 28, 2026, the beaver trail is barely recognizable, especially in the upper section, where it is almost impossible to find. The situation is further complicated by the presence of fallen trees and debris blocking the way.
