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 route from the northwest leads through a beautiful deciduous forest, but at the bottom there are some mighty, but sick trees, an already dead giant tree blocks the path and has to be bypassed via a steep embankment. Towards the south, the gravel path climbs steeply and sometimes roughly again.

Typical wooden construction as a resting place on the Bohemian routes - unfortunately already a bit neglected. The pond invites you to linger anyway.

Well, Karlstift is quite far away from this beautiful forest section of the Granittrail or Fassldorf route, which leads crisply up to Bruderndorf
