Update 10/23: Significantly more extended with more roots and steps as well as a stone field in the lower third. New outlet, which significantly defuses this (as described by Jo-Shi above). Still works with a hardtail - even if some people don't want to believe it. Admittedly it's more fun with a fully 😜.

The levels of the singletrack scale: S0 - very easy: The easiest type of trail is characterized by gentle to moderate gradients, non-slip surfaces and wide curves. There are no special demands on driving technique to overcome it. S1 - easy: Here you can expect smaller obstacles such as roots or stones. The ground is partly unconsolidated and the curves become narrower, but without hairpin bends. The maximum gradient here is 40%. S2 - medium: The level of difficulty increases and larger stones and roots are to be expected. Rarely solid ground under the wheels and there are shallow steps or stairs. Tighter curves must also be taken regularly and the steepness can be up to 70%. S3 - difficult: In this category you are already moving in blocked terrain with larger boulders or longer root passages. Switchbacks and diagonal turns occur and you often have to expect loose ground. There are regular gradients of 70%. S4 - very difficult: It gets steep and really blocked. Long, demanding root passages and large boulders have to be overcome and loose scree is the order of the day. Hairpin bends and steep ramps place special demands on your riding technique and there are steps where the chainring comes into contact. S5 - extremely heavy: The upper end of the scale is characterized by heavily blocked terrain, counter climbs, loose ground with scree, narrow hairpin bends and high obstacles such as fallen trees - including, of course, steep gradients. There is little braking distance and the MTB riding technique is put to a tough test.

Trail for adventurers, a lot of fun, would classify the trail as S1. Greetings Marcus

The run-off zone below was defused by an alternative on the right. Please only use the new finish, as there are always unpleasant situations with pedestrians.

Must agree with SKato, I would classify myself as a beginner, or at least as "Uncertain" but that's not more than S2. Quite steep in parts and some larger paragraphs but (at least in today's conditions) very grippy compared to many other trails in the area. At the end of the really steep sections there is almost always a small berm or an area where it is easy to brake, which completely takes away my fear. Not necessarily recommended as a complete beginner, but for people like me who have the technique but are still afraid of steep technical pieces, the perfect place to practice.
