The 650m long route with difficulty level S2 is quite challenging. The trail is partly blocked with beautiful drops and is nice to ride; the trail is well integrated into the terrain and runs from the Platte to the Steinwaldpilz.

The trail from the Oberpfalzturm to Fichtelnaab is only blocked at the top. The rest goes, albeit with counter-increases.
Before Pfaben I somehow couldn't find the trail in the leaves and at km 23.5 there was no way through felled trees. The bike had to be carried a little through the dark forest.
