MTB climb is possible almost to the very top, the last 30m you have to push. On the descent it's very slow, a lot of pedestrians.

Entry to Rokitnik singletrack in Piechowice - many of them (but not only) form the Giants' Bike Path. This is a good map; you will find many similar information points on the trail.

This is what you trained for on MTB! Descents and jumps from rocks, roots and sudden turns between trees - great, a dream in fact, but demanding!

The stairs leading up Forstberg are currently closed. A Polish sign warns of danger, and a chain has been installed to block off any access. While it's possible to climb over them, the railings look very rusty, even though they still appear relatively sturdy.
