Switchback trail, nice easy roots and rocks, but difficult switchbacks. Pro can train their cornering, intermediate riders their trail skills, beginners should take their time (beginners would rate it black). Its almost completely in the woods, can get dark easily.

Anyway this is a popular hiking path, please consider riding it off season (or in the morning or late afternoon), and don't use the switchback shortcuts.

      Schöne Trail, mindestens schwarz. Mit meinem 25 Jahre alten Scott Strike Carbon nur mit Mühe machbar. War aber trotzdem gut fürs Training.

      So much fun, really great trail, good for switchback practice and loads of fun in between.

      Gem of a trail. Many, many tight switchbacks. Lots of roots. Only a few high steps, most steps are not so bad and should be fine for advanced beginners. The upper part of the trail is a beauty; it goes through coniferous woods and thus has no tricky leafs in late autumn. But the rest is very nice as well.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
