Great trail, rideable for experienced riders. Partially heavily washed out, steep and with steps. Everything your heart desires. 🚵‍♂️

The trail can be ridden uphill. Downhill, at every turn from the asphalt road, there is a nice new sign prohibiting bicycles. 🤔

Above the stable building, there's a wooden hut with a refrigerator selling alpine cheese and drinks. Combined with the view, it's a real hit!
