    Excellent information, photos and fabulous views. We walked this one in January with the author and now see it differently with all the spring flowers out. A very very good walk, thank you Fran 😊

    We walked this trail in October so it was very dry after summer. Trail has no signs or arrows to follow while walking so was using only description and pictures from what was posted here. Venetian bridge and small shrine with many plants around was very cute, Viklas abandoned village was interesting too.
