What are the best times of year to cycle the Hausen–Kaltenberg Country Road, considering its difficulty?

Is the Hausen–Kaltenberg Country Road suitable for families with young children?

Families with older, more experienced children on mountain bikes might find it manageable, but beginners should be cautious.
Are dogs allowed on the Hausen–Kaltenberg Country Road cycleway?
As a public country road, dogs are generally permitted, but they should always be kept on a leash, especially given the potential for other cyclists and local wildlife. Be mindful of the varied terrain, as loose ground might be challenging for some dogs.
