Then follows a very beautiful, partly somewhat technical, but not too demanding crossing along the Hirschplatte until the path above Rossji turns southwest. The subsequent valley descent is initially technically easy until you cross towards Firbäch at Bidmer. Then it becomes steep but still flowy until you finally reach Gand via more technical sections. The last singletrail section shortly turns onto the forest road heading towards Hungerberg. It contains short steep passages where you have to push the mountain bike partially. Then you continue towards Unner Äbnet to the forest road that leads to Oberwald and from there along the Rotten bike path to Ulrichen station.
