      Nice Natural Flow With many steps and switchbacks! The middle section is really wet since the stream is running along the trail, some maintenance needed. Overall, great trail!

      Starts out with tech and switchbacks and turns into techy flow. For those with good bike handling the flow can be found. Only one or two obstacles can’t be rolled but can be dropped if comfortable at speed. Lower half is perfect loamy flow.

      This trail nevertheless seems easier to me than the other trails on Wank, except for hüttlsteig.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
