A little-used treat, uphill and downhill, through a beautiful landscape. On the descent there is also a wonderful view, sometimes distant views, depending on the weather and air conditions. Road conditions mostly good (06/2024); be careful on bends where visibility is poor - there may also be sand or stones on the road.
