A beautiful trail. Unfortunately, there is currently a stick across the path every few meters. Cyclists apparently aren't welcome there by everyone. I cleared some of them aside. Not entirely safe, especially around the bends.

The Volcano Cycle Path leads over the old bridge with four arches. The bridge is not a delicate structure.
