ホルツガウのバイクパーク・トップ7

A very very nice tour 👍

Fantastic panorama. Great side streets. Not too steep. Beautiful landscape

Great area to relax and cycle

One way ahead - you will have to push/carry here - probably nobody can drive through everything here - but it's not that far - as an experienced biker you shouldn't be put off - but with panniers, etc., it's better to stay on the road

@Olaf: this stretch is marked as S2/S3 with some sliding sections. That means: S2 downhill (red) and S3 (black) uphill. And yes, very good MTB trail technicians do it consistently, I know a few. Good MTB riders ride this 95% and only push 5%. I also described that above. and documented with numerous photos. So nothing for pure forest road riders or trekking bikes. I myself only drive safely S1, and sometimes also simple S2. I often push. I have often come across difficulties that were not so obvious before, and after tedious pushing and carrying work, I have documented them and pointed out the difficulties that others might face. Same here. The route was previously entered in the OSM map as S2 and when planning with komoot the message appears: "Advanced driving technique required". Since I was surprised that that alone wasn't enough, I created this highlight in 2019 with the clear indication that it had to be pushed and sometimes even carried. Nevertheless, I found this route nice and worthwhile because you avoid the very busy pass road. It was okay that I had to get out of my comfort zone with my almost 60 years and being overweight. It should be clear to everyone that after rain with very soft ground, a path may be much more difficult to drive/push/carry. Mountain bikers often ride paths that are not consistently rideable and are willing to push a bit if their ability or their willingness to take risks is overwhelmed. Anyone who dares to tackle real MTB terrain should know the single trail scale and be able to assess themselves accordingly, read the komoot classification of the trail and study the highlights - if available - in advance. Here the key points are even illustrated by me in large numbers. So you know what you're getting yourself into. You obviously usually ride gravel bikes, you probably rented e-MTBs here. Have you looked at the pictures of this highlight beforehand? If you overdo it on an S2/S3 path, you may be putting yourself in danger, will curse, and won't do it again. Happened to me when I was young when I was mountaineering and had to pay for an expensive helicopter rescue. Maybe you have to admit the mistake of not having informed yourself sufficiently beforehand. The hazard warnings were there. https://www.singletrail-skala.de/

Demanding trail. Currently very washed out and overgrown in the middle part. No doubt what a technician. Nothing for beginners.

The forbidden sign really exists and probably makes sense. I followed it as the trail comments aren't that great and the top part I rode had quite a bit of ruts as well.

Not recommended for inexperienced mountain bikers at the moment. Very long, sometimes very narrow sections over roots and stairs. Also not very easy to push in some sections. At one point, the bike even has to be carried because otherwise it becomes too narrow.
