At this moment, September 6th 2024, the path is still visible but there's a lot of itchy and stretchy overgrowth. Only some parts are clear enough to feel rideable. Bridges are good. No blockages by trees.

It's a bit overgrown, but fun to drive.

Status 09/23: Entrance still blocked by trees, but behind it everything is clear. A new tree fell in, but it was already created as a kicker and can easily be driven over. Complete trail therefore mobile, wonderful! Big recommendation. It is also very interesting that the trail looks like it did last year. While large masses of water have left visible changes in the Grundbach, this was not the case in the Glasebachtal.

Status 09/23, actually free, there are no more trees that could fall in ;-) But it's extremely overgrown, with lots of nettles and thorns - ouch! Not all stream crossings have bridges; after heavy rain, the streams are sometimes very washed out and difficult to navigate.

Did the entire trail yesterday (6/21/23). Only the bushes and thorns along the way are a bit annoying. Otherwise really great trail 👍🏻

Beautiful trail that becomes increasingly narrow from Sandershausen to the smugglers' gorge. No problem at the beginning even with the touring bike, towards the end there were also narrow, rooty passages that I gave up on my gravel bike and pushed briefly. Definitely worth a detour through the scenery!

Ingenious corner with great rocky passages, but also small to large jumps. Beginners please pay attention! 🍀
