Between the Gänskopfhütte and the associated hiking trail, there is the Schamusi-Weg, which is a great trail with a mountain bike, sometimes challenging due to many roots. The trees along the way are populated by many fantasy creatures, made of wool and recycled materials. Here you have to be careful on the descent so as not to look too much from the path. Caution: the path is also very popular with hikers and especially their children. So always drive with foresight!

The Schamusiweg is a very nice path for young and old. Some trees and bushes are inhabited and guarded by different rope beings. The path is also very nice by bike. Please, cyclists, watch out for hikers.

The upper part at the bend is extremely steep and rooty and you have to push for a few meters.
