House of SustainabilitySafety information
This physically very demanding mountain bike route also includes some difficult trail descents. The rider's own skills and fitness should be realistically assessed.
Riding the route is fundamentally at your own risk and responsibility.
Typical forest hazards such as fallen trees/branches etc. must be expected.
Please be sure to be considerate of other forest users/hikers, stop and dismount if necessary: pedestrians have the right of way!
This route has no continuous marking, so it is advisable to use the GPS track for navigation.
This route is conditionally suitable for e-mountain bikes. On some demanding trail sections, it may be necessary to push the e-bike.
