Very nice single tail for mountain bikers who already have a bit of practice.

The Affenfelsen Trail would actually be a really beautiful single trail through the forest, but it is currently (12/2023) pretty much damaged by the forest workers. Hopefully they'll clear up their mess again by spring.

Personally, I prefer to drive it from bottom to top, it's simply more demanding and sportier. I take the entrance from the old people's home deck. The trail has now become very narrow in some places. Drive with concentration here, as the “abyss” should not be underestimated. It really is a highlight here in the region. Another tip for those driving down: take a detour via Mauk to the Petersgmünder Weiher and walk around it.

Great trail and, as already described, pay attention to the width of the handlebars, it gets pretty narrow in some places.

Not to be missed; as already described, it is from east to west better and more fun to drive.

Great trail along the slope. The trail is best driven from east to west and has a nice flow. The other way around, only recommend with e-bike zj.

Great trail with slalom character. Technical and conditional challenge with lots of fun. The trail runs along the slope. Above on the mountain there is a less technically demanding trail.

There seems to be resistance to driving on the trail, see Article 1.3.3.2 https://www.verkuendung-bayern.de/baymbl/2020-755/?fbclid=IwAR1Y5ZlJahI40Ol8EYwtm9cZb_HRJwR8-GgEYmC8FV1aSjWzPkFLQQblOW0
