A very beautiful and challenging tour. However, not all sections can be ridden due to dead and fallen trees... What a shame for us and the trees❗️🥲

A large part of the tour was not rideable even with a sporty eFully mountain bike. The forests are full of fallen trees 🌳

The path directly down from the dam is not for beginners. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of thorny vines at the moment. The carrying sections are easier to master with a Biobike, and there are a lot of fallen trees on the north side of the dam.
