Take your time! Ride in a high gear ratio to save battery power on your e-bike. The road is free of cars. You can take a breather at any point if necessary.

The Gautscheich Hut is located in the Stettert Forest near Metzingen. This hut has a rustic look, and there's also a wild boar carving (sculpture) next to the hut.

Yes, once you're here... but the trails on the last 1.5km or so were really borderline for me: steep, narrow, overgrown, extremely tight curves, and then there were four large fallen tree trunks. I had to unbuckle everything from my bike and somehow hoist the bike over, sweating and panting, sob! But otherwise, great!!!
