      What a trail
      Super flow with some jumps and tech switchbacks.
      Good to see some more difficult trails.

      Absolute dream of a trail - thanks to the local authorities and the trailbuilders! So many cool sections, got pretty much everything you want from a trail.
      A shame that there are already lots of shortcuts

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
