A wonderful view, but the slightly hilly view is deceptive. The climbs are sometimes quite steep.

The path is not really fun, from Meli towards Kuralpe partly with coarse gravel approx. 1.5 km but you can also drive on the meadow which is much easier.

Fun route for the mountain bike from the Kuralpe direction Melibokus ... with fantastic views ...

The view is fantastic, all photos are taken at the edge of the forest on the route between Felsberg and Balkhaus bridge or just behind at the rest area. The trail from above (Felsberg) to here is definitely recommended (actually a single trail S1-S2).
The way from here to the Balkhaus bridge is modest as described (coarse gravel). A break at this point is definitely worth it.July 2, 2020
Wonderful view from the Melibokus (tower, when open), but also from the platform in front of it. Very nice hiking and MTB trails around the Melibokus, especially from the Balkhauser side. From the observation bench with a view of Balkhausen there are 3 different ascents to the Melibokus. One of them is extremely steep and stony - a challenge for eMTBers. I made it, but had to push in a few places.

Felsberg - Melibokus is actually the standard MTB route.

Great little rest area with a wonderful valley view, view of Auerbach Castle and Melibokus

If you see Melibokus normally from the west, i.e. the Rhine plain, then the other perspective is a change.

Fantastic foresight! But be careful, the path consists of "coarse gravel", so it's better to slow down a bit and enjoy the view :-)
