Would not categorize ist t as black. A lot of up and down. You should have a Vario post. Technical skills are neither uphill nor downhill too demanding. Met a black bear at the end of the trail. At the end of the trail you can also go down right instead of left. You avoid the last uphill And end on the city trail. This last section was in fact the best of the trail :-)

Great trail with a lot of volunteer work put into it. Nice rock rolls and technical terrain.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
