April 2025: Dan78 is still correct. Still great path to include if you do not pursue a PR average!

A very beautiful section through the forest. Unfortunately, the asphalt isn't in the best condition, but it's still rideable on a road bike. However, you should definitely be careful due to the aforementioned poor asphalt.

Because the meadows are sometimes very wet, water buffalo are kept here.

The highland cattle with their “shaggy” coat are easy to distinguish from the water buffalo.

Since it is a very humid area, the water buffalo feel comfortable.

Most of the asphalt paths here in the forest were made for forestry. Cyclists also benefit from this.
