Itinerary description
I created this route from a couple of other, shorter, Wikiloc routes so that it would make for a morning's ride. The route follows forest roads which are all passable by motor vehicle - although I only met one vehicle the whole ride, so don't expect any roadside help if you have problems!
Views along the river edge are lovely: for a change a wiggly path does not mean a steep uphill, it's just the way the road follows the water's edge.
The roads are all compacted gravel and would be passable on a gravel bike with no problem. The route is technically easy, with the exception of one downhill of around 30m, which has a loose surface where novice riders may do best to dismount.
I did this ride on an EMTB and barely used 30% of the battery. Worth the effort.
