Komoot suggested this tour to me. It was good and varied. Only the last 10 meters were impossible to get through. 🤪

It was a great tour in fog and freezing temperatures... Unfortunately there were no buffalo to see today, I think they are in their winter quarters
It was a very nice circular walk

Very nice little circular hike. Easy paths mostly in forest and meadow. Unfortunately we couldn't see any water buffalo. Maybe when it's a little warmer.
