Forest Trail in the Palatinate

Highlight • Trail

Very flowy and flat. Just a few tiny roots. But unfortunately only very briefly.
Forestry work has now created a few small jumping hills! 👍

The hardest 20 km I know. Also many demanding trails, uphill and down. I had 850 Hm my buddy on the Garmin watch 950 and on his Komoot app 1250 Hm! Feels like 1500 🥴. No time to rest, it's just up and down steeply, sometimes very technical, down.

Had to use my Cannondale Jekyll 3 Enduro with 170 mm travel today. With a 15 kilo bike and downhill tires up the steep Falkensteiner ramps was a lot of fun! But on some descents I was glad to have been on the road with the Enduro!

This week I was encouraged by two tours on and around the Donnernerg to go there...
Today unfortunately today without sun. But almost all the paths are empty. Exciting trails with insights into the mining activities around Imsbach at the time.
It was fun - I'd love to come back again with sun and more time! 👍

Crunchy round that should not be underestimated, very steep climbs and great single trails, from coniferous forest to alpine. The trails are mostly mobile for reasonably experienced bikers. There are also some steep switchbacks and jumps but they are never blocked or extremely steep.
