You share this singletrack with mountain bikers, or rather, as a pedestrian it's better to walk on the path directly along the edge of the quarry. This is easily done and the cyclists tend to use the hilly spoil heap.

You can get to the university quickly via this path. However, the surface is not suitable for racing bikes, but the route is easy to ride with a touring bike or mountain bike.

Great cabin, candles and tablecloths... beautiful forest all around, just lovely! And on top of that, we had a nice chat with the forester (at least I think it was him) 🤣 He was an absolutely nice and polite person, and his 9-year-old dog is also very sweet and cuddly...
