June 11, 2025,Petit Goulets, Gorges de la Bourne, Col d'Herbouilly 🌞🥵

After far too long, I'm finally back in the Gorges in the Vercors. One of the most amazing regions in Central Europe; you spend most of your time standing and staring. A nice short bike ride to start with, but I know how awesome cycling is here... let's see what it's like on foot 🌞
