Todesgrube (Death Pit) Singletrack

Highlight • MTB Park

The 3rd stage was varied and demanding at the same time. There are several single trails (S3) along the route that can be ridden but don't have to.
The Hotel Hermannshöhe in Legden awaits me...highly recommended.

Really beautiful at the Teufelsschlucht (Berkelaue). But
In wet weather, the unpaved western section (paths) in the forest can sometimes be muddy

Kommiesenpatt Border Trail and St. Vitus Stone

Highlight • Trail

Very nice to bike there
Here and there it gets a bit narrower and at one point quite close to the barbed wire but a great highlight for me personally

St. Vitus Stone on the Dutch-German Border

Highlight • Monument

The Kommiezenpad is a smuggling path between the Netherlands and Germany. By "commissioners" were meant the customs officers who guarded the borders until 1995.
