The route from the northwest leads through a beautiful deciduous forest, but at the bottom there are some mighty, but sick trees, an already dead giant tree blocks the path and has to be bypassed via a steep embankment. Towards the south, the gravel path climbs steeply and sometimes roughly again.

The route from/to Hirschenwies is a beautiful forest section on gravel, slightly uphill to the small border crossing in the middle of the forest.

The Nebelstein is a wonderful destination with a panoramic view on a bike/MTB tour. The route between the parking lot and the hut up/down can be easily ridden with an MTB, but on days with heavy visitor traffic, it's better to go on foot.

The Nebelstein is a wonderful destination with a 360-degree view on a bike/MTB tour. The route between the parking lot and the hut up/down can be easily ridden with an MTB, but on days with heavy visitor traffic, it's better to walk.

A wide footbridge leads here over the still "young" Lainsitz.

The forest path is the ideal connection between the MTB routes "Nordwald" and "Nebelstein" - the routes would make a big detour on the asphalt roads here 😕
