Trail Reviews
The entire first part of the tour is. Very personable. The path is easy. it is well signposted (path. E1) winds between dirt roads and flat paths, the second part of the ring, when you deviate from the path E1 becomes difficult. You have to ford the river, by bike it's no problem because the water is very shallow but on foot we had to take off our shoes. Once on the other bank, after a few meters the path ends and you have to enter a fairly tangled bush and follow the track on the app, roughly guessing the direction for a few kilometers up to the exit of the wood where, after crossing a field, you take the path again back.
