Itinerary description
i voted "very difficult" because at some points you can not clearly find the path to follow. you feel only a few people passed through this way. Also, the slope in one valley was very sharp which i was scared to descend (i marked it as a cave in the map), even though u can skip that part of the route.

This is not a physically "very difficult" trail, although you need to take you time and take some food along.. But you are right that there're many parts where the path must in fact be a thin animal trail: I doubt very much that those parts were once real trodden paths. At the end of the day, you find yourself many times wondering which direction you should head.
This route has been published quite a few times here on wikiloc, and with minor variations. I can't understand why, as again you often get lost in the wildernis, following trails that aren't clear, get exposed to the risk of sliding along steep slopes and even ending in thick, almost impenetrable bushes.
So, to the people interested, beware of all this.
Out of interest, I've completed this route in 3.15 hours.
