☠ Warning ☠: You should definitely not cycle down the Gitziflue-Steingrueben-Weg. Even getting started is a challenge, it doesn't get any better afterwards! The path is on a very steep slope and is so narrow that you cannot drive it. The ground often gives way or has impassable obstacles. Sliding proportion of a good 80%. There is an abyss in several of these narrow places. Over 2/3 of the route, bikers and bikes do not have enough space next to each other, so the rear wheel of the bike drags along the slope while you somehow try to keep the front wheel on the path without slipping along with the bike. At the very end you can drive some sections of the route, but with obstacles such as trees that get in the way of the handlebars or where you have to get off. If the ground is dry, it is very dangerous. When it is wet there is no getting through, then the bike ride is definitely life-threatening ☠
