Jens rode this trail on 09-07-2023 on a MTB

Used to cycling routes that are around 80-95% singletrack, with the necessary altitude meters. Maybe I'm spoiled by that, but I wouldn't really call this a mtb route, but rather a gravel bike. Many roads, many cart tracks, between meadows, on paths where golfers walk... The small pieces where there is a piece of forest or nature, are only straight ahead without any technique whatsoever. In addition, confusing signs (but that can certainly be me), despite the fact that I eventually followed the correct signs, I also encountered oncoming traffic several times to my great surprise. Too bad, because it seems that much more can be achieved from this area, if necessary a shorter route, but with single tracks that live up to the name. The 13% that is called single track here is not worth the name in my opinion. Still, I appreciate that efforts are being made to make something of it in a fairly flat area, and it may not be so easy to build beautiful routes (probably money issue), hopefully that something could change adhv vignettes in the future.
