Challenging Forest Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

What looks like a comfortable forest road at first has a few technical challenges in the lower part: Heavily washed out with step-like roots. Where it is washed out, sand - fine sand - remains. In addition, there are still long-standing tree trunks. Uphill I have no experience.
