Itinerary description

this is an exploratory trail in sawfar town that can be ameliorated but it is useful to discover this very nice town that needs restoration,
we parked on a side road and followed for the first part the main road reaching sawfar grand hotel, that is an amazing place, it was much affected by the war and needs restoration, but it is of incredible beauty, from there we went out of the main road to the left to the sawfar train station, it is a nice site a little bit out of a spooky movie but nice to see, the next 2 km were following the site of train rails, till we reached the cliff, here the descent was very steep and relatively hard however when we reached down we realized that if we continued like a couple of hundred meters we probably would have found an easier way to go down,
the way back was down the clift and parallel to it passing through apples fields, on a point the dirt road was closed with a metallic chain so we diverted down and passed through an agricultural field at the end of it it was a little bit challenging to reach the upper road back but we did it, so at that site if u cross the chain and continue u would probably skip the trouble, the rest of the road was easy and it finishes by climb up on asphalt
