Mountain biking
Right at the top of Bamberg 334 pretty steep. 2 technically not very easy jumps over tree trunks (fast consecutive and steep - can be avoided) Then flatter with some adjacent curves (1 often flooded and slippery). Later some bigger roots, great, fast jumps, drift curves on soft forest floor.
At the gorge descent (about 10 m deep sink / furrow) take enough momentum otherwise you will not get up in the back. Then forest road and continue on the last trail piece.
You can push up or drive up from behind.
