Itinerary description
See the way points that indicate where you'll switch between the different type of tracks.As there are few hikers in this area, the track is not always that clear, so you'll need to check your GPS regularly.
Almost all of the track is through a very think forest. Even on a sunny day, it might be a bit dark in the forest. When I hiked the trail, there were many low hanging clouds and mist, making it a spooky forest.
At the summit, trees have been cleared, giving you a pretty good view of the landscape, weather permitting.
If you're interested in Geocaching, you will find at least 3 caches along this track.
Remarks: This is a slightly modified version of the walk "dom 07/ago/2016 10:02:48" published here by piebat. However, as that hike doesn't contain a proper name, description or any pictures, I decided to publish it again.
