A pit stop at Fabio's is always possible, and not just to fill up your water bottle. Delicious ice cream, coffee specialties and much more. Next door is the ceramics department! This solves the procurement and disposal logistics. In summer: don't forget your swimwear.

In Greek mythology, Atlas is a Titan who was condemned by Zeus to carry the world on his shoulders. Another story tells that he watched the nymphs who were having a blast playing with the globe. When they passed the globe to him and laughed, his eternal fate began. The path leads from the border crossing route into the forest on the left just before the road. You also have to cycle back. If there is oncoming traffic, dismounting is a MUST. Crossing the property on the street is prohibited (private property)
