A quick glance at the map would have been enough to avoid the trip through a dog kennel, across the stream, and down the no longer existing path. The route from the C-13 to the C-1311 wouldn't even have been a detour!!!

Here, Komoot's algorithms failed and led us onto impassable paths, past a dog kennel, through a stream, etc. Pay attention to the route when planning your tour!

Unfortunately, Komoot's algorithms failed here, taking us through a dog attack kennel (the fence was tight), through a stream, and the quality of the path is as shown in the photos. Taking the country road would have been faster!

Unfortunately, Komoot's algorithms completely failed here. We were led through a dog attack kennel (the fences held!), through a stream, and along the paths, see photos!!! A 2 km detour would have saved a lot of time!

Unfortunately, Komoot's algorithms failed here and led us along a nearly impassable path, through a fighting dog kennel (the fence was tight!), through a stream, and so on. A "detour" of no more than 0.5 km would have saved us all this!
