Technically a bit demanding. When wet, be careful with roots and leaves. A wonderful MTB route. We didn't meet a single hiker on the entire trail on a Tuesday in May (after morning rain) in the afternoon. Even though cycling on forest paths - also in nature reserves - is permitted in Brandenburg, in my opinion, you should not plan this tour on Sundays or public holidays or during vacations. So that it remains permitted, if it continues to be possible without competition on less frequented days.
