      Zu beginn ein Pfad vergangener Tage ohne Unterhalt. Er wird noch sichtbar begangen und ist daher auch fahrbar (Expert Level). Etwa in der Hälfte erreicht man den Wanderweg hoch zur Ruine Grottenburg (Caveman), dieser Weg ist offiziell ein Wanderweg, bleibt aber herausfordernd.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
