Schädelweg
Description
The starting point is Oberried, from where you initially pedal up a small road through the Zastlertal valley. This takes you to the Rinkensattel and then to the Zastler Hütte, where you can stop for refreshments for the first time. Continue along a small road towards Hüttenwasen, but then climb up a trail on the right towards Toter Mann. However, it is not necessary to fight your way all the way to the top. After 50 meters, turn left onto a path that later rides flatter around the Toter Mann. Up and down and alternating between small roads and trails, the route rides past the Stollenbacher Hütte (the second refreshment stop) to the start of the Schädelweg trail. This is specially designed for mountain bikers, but is anything but a flat flow highway. Steep sections alternate with fast traverses, there are easy flow passages as well as almost alpine stone passages. All in all, a really great bike trail for experienced mountain bikers. The bike trail ends right on the outskirts of Oberried.
Note: The tour is located in Baden-Württemberg with the legal requirement of a two-meter rule. This tour contains elements that do not comply with this regulation. Rather, it reflects routes that are ridden by local mountain bikers. Compliance with the regulations is the responsibility of each individual mountain biker.

I agree with e-deuchert_64412. The Schädelweg is worthwhile. The rest of the tour did not convince us, especially since, as already described, there was a high proportion of forest paths and recently the forestry operation was probably also active, so that there were many branches and trees on the route (especially immediately before the Schädelweg). If you do the tour anyway, I recommend taking the ascent directly to the Zastlerhütte and not riding the additional loop over the Rinkensattel (officially forbidden for bikes; partly sloping path with the risk of stones rolling onto the forest path directly below; at the end a short rockfall zone where at least we had to carry).

The skull walk is great!
The rest of the tour was too much downhill forest road for me.
Part of the route was probably once a path, now it's a colony of young fir trees.
The direct route up to Schädelwäg is definitely worth it!
