In misty or foggy weather you can actually save the summit, but the rather dense forest around it is very mystical.

May 24, 2026,MTB Strecke Nördliche Bergstraße NdB1

Between castles and Melibokus, that's the motto of this varied route, which should not be underestimated with its 1100 meters of altitude gain and steep climbs. You will be rewarded with great views from the Melibokus and a nice singletrail right at the end.

Somewhat adventurous route. Not suitable for inexperienced riders. Partly steep and difficult passages through the forest. Some sections are shared with streams, which have probably found new streams as a result of the high rainfall recently. Several places are blocked by trees lying across the path.

@Mizke had a bit of fun today. Weather good, temperatures good. We had time to get out on the bike and into the forest 🤩. We rode the Ndlb and also took 1-2 trails, nothing special (S0-S1) but after a long break it just felt good!!

Always a nice round of the cross-country route Nördliche Bergstraße 😎

...and it's particularly nice to do a round with @Criz Eyes 💪😎

The Sperbergrund car park in Alsbach is the perfect starting point 👌

On a nice mixture of trails (S0, S1) and forest paths, we head north around the Tannenberg towards Steigerts. If you want, you can stop …

Today's first MTB tour for the Schwiegervaddder @Harald Krißbach and I thought of something beginner-friendly and I thought of the original Ndlb with forest highways and here and there an easy trail (green, blue). We had fun, that's what counts 😍💪
