On the final stretch toward La Ginestra, the trail is a bit narrow and exposed in places. Here, too, I recommend warm weather to avoid icy sections where the trail is already not very generous.

The car lane is fast but the bike lane with yellow line marking the car lane is fantastic

I'll just add my two cents: For me it's mainly an S2 trail, but mostly steep, some flowy passages S1, but also 2-3 S3 sections (big steps over stones in steep areas).

Quite a large peat bog. Above it is a small climbing garden.

Extremely dangerous road for cyclists. Cars speed by at 100 miles per hour and the bike lane certainly doesn't feel safe.

The vintage car body 🚗 is still in place. But now it's nice and green, without pallets or anything else. Pleasant to drive on the flat ground in the valley. But in midsummer it's very sunny and warm ☀️🥵🚲
