The marked narrow MTB trail from Stadlberg upwards starts quite harmlessly, but then increases in gradient and also contains tricky narrow sections with larger stones; for the "cautious" alternatives via wider paths to the left/right would be recommended.

The Nebelstein is a wonderful destination with a panoramic view on a bike/MTB tour. The route between the parking lot and the hut up/down can be easily ridden with an MTB, but on days with heavy visitor traffic, it's better to go on foot.
