Nice sinlge-trail on natural (loam) ground mixed with some roots. There are nearly no hikers on the trail, as it is not marked with any hiking-signs. At the trail-start it is a double-track for a few metres. Then it a little bit overgrown, but soon you will enter into a very nice single-trail. Partly narrow, but still great fun. A few small natural waves and hills for jumping.

Keep in mind that hikers use this way too.
Hikers have priority. Be nice, friendy and respectful. Ride with care.
