Itinerary description

|
Show original
A short short hike, on the rise a bit steep.
The way back and forth to the larger road has no meaning; I got lost. If you subtract that, you come to a total length of the trail of about 2.4 kilometers.
Finally, I took the forbidden, very steep bike path down to Gorey. A footpath is signposted on the hill before the bike path begins.

Jeffrey`s Leap

The name of the rock massif "Jeffrey's Leap" (Saut Goffroy) is reminiscent of medieval divine judgments. The condemned to death had to go into the depths, who survived was free. According to legend, Gottfried (Goffrey) survived the jump unscathed, but he made the mistake of trying it a second time, which he did not survive.
