A smooth and playful singletrack winding through peaceful pine forest. Fast, flowy, and perfect for letting the wheels roll.

A wonderful gravel route from the direction of Kulho for more experienced drivers. Otherwise, mostly a mountain bike route.

The trail is elaborately laid out, but is obviously rarely used. The fixtures require maintenance and some tree obstacles block the way. So the hiker can go on his tour undisturbed 😅

This marked mtb trail segment was challenging, pushing the bike was necessary in places but some bits were easier to ride.

This segment goes through a hilly water intake area. Fast flowing forest road with some rough gravel, certain sections have also soft sand. Most suitable for MTB or skilled gravel riders.
