Ridgeway

Highlight • Trail

The path is relaxed, a little up and down the ridge, so that you pass the Iron Anton. In between you always have great views of the surroundings. Every now and then narrower trails go downhill to the side.

So it became a mtb tour with some trails and the rest …

My first tour with the app and I'm thrilled 👍🏻

Missed the turn a couple of times, but I'm surprised how well the navigation in the forest works.
