Great and highly recommended! Be careful if you drive from east to west: the route just before the Brücker Bach is not without it. This single trail is a small section of the Ruhrhöhenweg. You can find more information here: bike-magazin.de/touren/deutschland/ruhrgebiet-mtb-tour-auf-dem-ruhrhoehenweg/a28105.html.

Certainly one of the coolest trails around here. As already mentioned, it is particularly recommended to drive from east to west. When you drive it for the first time, be prepared for sudden bends and sometimes heavily rooted and loose sections.

The trail is also known as the Ilex Trail.
Downhill, i.e. from east to west, is more fun

For classic MTB ride from NE to SW.
Both directions are great with an e-bike.

Despite the loose ground, you can quickly get over 40 km / h with a MTB

Very nice trail with a great root passage about halfway from east to west. Can be super combined with the Kettwiger downhill in Oefte, which can then be started 2 km further.

Very fun trail that can be ridden in both directions. But it's a lot more fun in the direction of Kettwig. 🚲💨

Somewhat stony descent with a beautiful valley in which you arrive and that in the middle of the pot

The trail is pretty narrow and clear. On nice days there are a lot of walkers out there and you get into the enclosure. In some places there is no way to evade because everything is overgrown to the right and left. Especially on the last piece
