Rothenbach Singletrack Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The trail is just great. Narrow path through tree maze. At one point it goes steeply down / up depending on the direction. Also that one drives parallel to the Rothenbach just great. I will gladly come again

If your son has a week's holiday and your own E-MTB is still waiting for spare parts, it's good if your son has a hardtail in the basement to go with his fully. So today I unexpectedly went on a bio-bike again and what can I say: "It's still possible 😅!"
