The Freshman Trail is a little bit of everything. At the beginning you have to paddle a bit, but it is wothwhile. After a small jump over an overthrown tree, a short scrap needs to be rolled down (chicken way is left handed). A hiking path is crossing here. Then the trails is perfect fitted in the landscape like a natural pumptrack. On the lawn turn left back into the forrest and follow the trail (another hiking trails is crossing). The Freshman is going to the left side downwards. After a 90° turn a drop is waiting, with the chicken way to the right hand. Then again a hiking way crosses the Freshman for the last time. Now you can speed up like a rollercoaster, turns, berms, wall, you´ll smile for a while... At the end of the trail a nice jump is challenging you (chickenway to the right side). The trails ends on a parking place.
