In this section, the Alte Heerstraße is now just a narrow dirt road. This section has the character of a trail. There is a narrow stalled fairway in which balance should be maintained. I found it very beautiful, but probably not suitable for all cyclists.

When you pass by here, you tend to follow the wide main forest path. However, the official route of the "old military road" leads into this narrow path - but there are no signs or information signs. I cannot say whether the path is currently passable, as I prefer to follow the wide path due to the weather conditions. The paths meet again after a short time, so you won't make a mistake if you follow the main path - which is not part of the old military road ;-).

Today I followed the trail or the old military road. The path is narrow and in wet weather or after rain it can be very muddy. Overall I wouldn't recommend the trail for touring bikes, especially as it is easy to bypass it via the wide forest path. Just follow the main path, it will lead back to the old military road.
