    Great Trail but technically demanding

      The trail leads from Feuereiche to Schusterknapp. The path contains some very steep sections. The bike has to be carried on some sections. Otherwise a beautiful path with a great panorama. Max Menke

        Driving over Ginsterkopf turns out to be hard work, here you often have to push and carry, but it's worth it and you'll be rewarded with fantastic views.......

          Demanding and tricky trail over 3 ridges, partly very blocked, but incredibly rewarding.

            Since storm depression Sabine, very severe storm damage has been shown. Therefore, this path has NOT been passable by bike since the storm. ONLY on foot, over many fallen trees.

              The path from the fire oak to the Ginsterkopf is sometimes extremely steep and leads over boulders that pose a challenge even on foot. So not recommended with the MTB.

                A real highlight for people who are looking for technically challenging trails, with an additional great view. Absolutely natural single trail over a longer distance, with steep sections, root fields and sections blocked by stones. Overall advanced driving technique required, not necessarily recommended in wet conditions.

                  Only accessible for Hike-a-Bike, very beautiful though.

                    One of the best trails in the area. Better to drive from the Feuereiche than from the direction of Brilon (the climbs are too steep and blocked). It's partly uphill. Except for the first climb on the trail, everything can be driven with the necessary strength and ability. We recommend.

                      If you ride the route in a north-south direction, you have to expect some very steep and sometimes blocked pushing and carrying sections. I could imagine that riding in the other direction would be more fun, as there would be more difficult sections downhill instead of uphill. But the scenery is still very beautiful!
