Gafadura Hütte
Description
From Schaan, ride up the mountain road to the village of Planken. Follow the asphalt road, which soon turns into a forest path and rides up to the Gafadura hut. The path crosses a single trail several times - our later downhill trail. If you are good on foot and enjoy excellent views, you should treat yourself to a detour to the Saroja saddle and the Saroja summit at the hut. As mentioned, the descent follows the ascent route or via the many individual shortcuts. The single trail down is very technical, especially in wet conditions. If you don't feel confident enough to tackle it, you can easily speed down the ascent route. In Planken, at the lower edge of the village, you head onto a final singletrail to the road between Schaan and Nendeln, which becomes increasingly flowy as the distance increases. Finally, follow this road back to the starting point.

The last section (red) ends abruptly in thorny hedges and nettles several feet tall; there used to be a path here (according to Swisstopo as well), but it no longer exists. The black-dotted trail starting from the hut is mostly very challenging and rocky—more like purple.
I kept seeing the descent track on the ascent on my e-bike and found it unrideable in many places. I then decided to traverse over to the Paulahütte. That worked, but took a while because there were a lot of pushing passages. The Paula descent was then 1A.
