The route to/from Hirschenwies is a beautiful forest section on gravel, slightly uphill towards the small border crossing in the middle of the forest.

The Nebelstein is a wonderful destination with a panoramic view on a bike/MTB tour. The route between the parking lot and the hut up/down can be easily ridden with an MTB, but on days with heavy visitor traffic, it's better to go on foot.

A wide footbridge leads here over the still "young" Lainsitz.

The forest path is the ideal connection between the MTB routes "Nordwald" and "Nebelstein" - the routes would make a big detour on the asphalt roads here 😕
