Trail Reviews
Unfortunately I forgot to stop recording. However, the Garmin gives me 724 meters of ascent and 9.70 km. Mount always satisfying, especially at a panoramic level of which the photos speak for themselves.
Nice excursion, simple but with a beautiful panorama full of testimonies of the war period 15-18
