Okay. Officially, the trail no longer exists. But we retraced it today.

Our highlight today was definitely two hoopoes sunbathing on a sandy path. Unfortunately, we didn't take a photo. We didn't want to scare these two rare birds away.

The short hike then leads along the idyllic 7 ponds through the forest and …
