The asphalted road ends at the source and you have to go back but it's worth it

Short circular tour of just 6km to test my fitness... 😄 Very beautiful and recommended for everyone even for the untrained, just a few challenging descents and climbs... also suitable for our 4-legged friends. Not suitable for the hot months such as June, July and August, few areas of shade and unwashed altitude 😉

I don't know why it's classified as "Easy", because it's not.

Given that I did it with the muddy path, which is absolutely NOT TO DO, because the route is ALL dirt so with the mud it becomes difficult to move, on the climbs and descents without poles I would not have continued.
