Starts off harmless across a cow pasture and turning into an easy doubletrack, but then Surprise. Some sick, technical spots really wake you up. After crossing the forest road, the trail becomes fast and flowy for a while before a little bit of narrow up and downbto the waterfall bridge crossing. Then ride/push the bike uphill for about 5 minutes to the paved road near Lexnerhof (great place to stop for lunch if open)
This trail is unsanctioned.

Trail fantastico con punto panoramico, un tratto molto tecnico quasi trialistico ma fattibile e finale surprise con cascata. consigliato.
Mircocasa
Bel punto panoramico a metà percorso... per il resto tre punti tecnici uno molto ripido ecco le tre sorprese.. per il resto tutto scorrevole compreso il passaggio finale sul ponte di legno..
Kilian250291
Very scenic. Two or three super steep techy bits. The rest is basicly just straight. Overall worth doing it once but not twice
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
