Beautiful path up to Blomberg

Advanced driving technique + moving the rear wheel is mandatory here. Otherwise it will be pushed to S3!

split in two! Coming from the Tanner Alm, the approximately 1.5 km long first part is marked as S1. Doesn't apply to me, there are definitely some tricky spots. Nothing for beginners, but those who can drive will have fun here! From the Pessenbacher Schneid down to the Orterer Alm, the classification is S3, which is absolutely correct. But as Haral writes above, it's definitely the lesser evil. If you do the Benewand circumnavigation, it doesn't get any easier than here.

The section is really demanding and slippery and therefore dangerous, especially after a rainy phase because of the many roots and the slope. If you drive southwest, a very inconspicuous path begins just before the S3 section on the right - Komoot shows this path as an alternative route to the Ortereralm. ABSOLUTELY AVOID THIS PATH! After a very short distance, there is a very steep slope crossing with very high grass on the side (no chance of stopping in the event of a fall (i.e. in case of a fall :-)) - neither for humans nor MTB. After this passage, there is a zigzag descent (also shown on the map) which is very difficult to master, especially with a heavy e-bike - the terrain is also very blocked and pushing the bike is out of the question - the section requires lifting, tugging and carrying the bike - I did this section downhill and especially on my own any injury would be problematic - despite the fact that you can already see the hut from the middle - do get lost here especially under the week nobody. So, avoid the inside path at all costs... and stay healthy. The S3 variant is by far the "lesser evil".

Technically and physically demanding trail that is very rocky, stony with many roots and steps.

Very nice trail, dry s2 / 3 if it is wet you could pass it as S4 due to the many roots. It already has some more technically demanding parts, with curves and steps or a little rock in curves, so far my absolute favorite trail in this area.
