I did the same route as Maria in 2015.
As she says, no watercrossing which is impossible. Sometimes a little bit deeper when there is rain, but doable.
Some tricks sections with sand, but doable.
I did it with a Transalp.
The bridge Forestwitz means ist after Ulangom on a new road....
personally I think that the route from Olgii - Khovd - Altai . Uliastay ( and from here the Centerroute ) is more scenic than the northern route.
I did both and definitely liked the mix of Southern and Centerroute better.
There is just one a little bit boring part between Khovd and Altai, but you see the stone gobi, it just gets boring after a while but then you turn north to Altai anyway.
And you have the higher mountains and mountain passes here.
