The Sperbergrund car park in Alsbach is the perfect starting point 👌

On a nice mixture of trails (S0, S1) and forest paths, we head north around the Tannenberg towards Steigerts. If you want, you can stop …

Somewhat adventurous route. Not suitable for inexperienced riders. Partly steep and difficult passages through the forest. Some sections are shared with streams, which have probably found new streams as a result of the high rainfall recently. Several places are blocked by trees lying across the path.

Between castles and Melibokus, that's the motto of this varied route, which should not be underestimated with its 1100 meters of altitude gain and steep climbs. You will be rewarded with great views from the Melibokus and a nice singletrail right at the end.
