A rocky downhill section of road that features a water crossing at the bottom that can be rolled through, there is a bridge however if you decide not to ride through the Beck. The section is quite rocky and has many different lines, it averages a gradient of 0% however hits -30% in certain areas.

If you're going for the "splash" (rather than cut left for the footbridge), commit with speed and keep pedalling until you're out of the river!

Short but fun section. Lots of rocks and line choices. There is a bridge crossing to the left if you want to avoid riding through the water. Sharp right-hander after the crossing if you wish to continue on the official trails.
