Nice mountain bike trail in this direction (I only pushed my bike twice for 30 meters to be safe). The short, "more difficult" sections are all gently downhill, making it completely easy to ride. Going in the other direction, I would only recommend it to experienced e-bikers ("The narrow hiking trails are easy and fun downhill (they're certainly harder uphill and therefore not as fun 😆)")

On a rock above a rest area, the hiker encounters another small sacred monument. However, this one—known as the "Messner's Cross"—is not designed in the usual manner for most crucifixes: The base for the cross is the upwardly open fork of a tree trunk, which is then capped with a protective gable roof. The resulting space between the branches reveals the actual cross, made of light wood and bearing the body of the crucified Christ.
