Erbs
Description
In Elm, ride up the valley on the south side of the Sernf stream, then change sides and follow the mountain road for a short distance until a small road leads up to Obere Erbs in the Unter Erbs area. A little below Alp Matt, the long single trail begins, descending slightly to Bischofbach and then riding up to Hängstboden on an alpine road. Follow this trail to the mountain station of the gondola lift, ride past it and a few hundred meters behind it branch off into the single trail that descends to the right. This is very challenging and only recommended for experienced mountain bikers! Finally, you ride along the Sernf back to Elm.
Tip: Ride the tour, then take the gondola up again and tackle the single trail downhill once more.

I rode the tour today. It was raining.
The ascent is good, comfortable. The path between Oberbach and Hengstboden is closed until June 30th. There is a diversion-> to push, ride in between. But it's very pretty there, you can do it from time to time.
The actual trail is still well hidden and not marked in red and white. It runs through a mossy wonder forest, has a few technical bends and is mostly nice and narrow. The definition of a good single trail, so to speak!
In the wet, however, it is also surprising.
Wet roots and moss stones have never been known for good grip :-)
We rode the trail on 12.8.18. The ascent is not very steep and pleasant to ride. The crossing to the top station of the cable car is easy. The single trail is really challenging. The difficulty scale of 0 - 6 is something that everyone may see individually. On Danny MacAskill's personal scale it would probably be 1/6, but I would rate it 4/6.
It seems to me that on this website the grade 3/6 is used in the same way as silver wax used to be used for skiing: simply for almost everything. From easy to difficult.
