Unfortunately, the trail is no longer rideable after the halfway point (east entrance). The harvesters have done a great job and completely covered the trail with branches. I doubt it will ever be cleared again.

The single trail along the Schneidersbach is the feeding place for all 🐗 wild boars from Nbg. and environment! It looks like Brandenburg here! But the trail is still a hit! Although at ground level it's not easy when it's wet! 😎 😜 🌊 but gail if the back. - or the front wheel slips 30cm to the left or right on the wet roots

That was definitely the fun factor on my tour today - but it is a demanding downhill trail. However, only experienced mountain bikers who are not afraid of steep terrain should ride.

In the lower part (just before the final ramp) there are currently some broken glass (as of August 2023).
