Itinerary description

A beautiful walk with shade on about 80% of the route.
You don’t need gps to follow this trail, so this is just to give guidance on distance, height and the condition of the trail.
96% of the trail is easy and good quality, but there are a few challenging spots that would be rather unpleasant in wet conditions.

Note: Our rest after picture #15 at the bottom of the gorge made the gps go crazy and add about 1 km to the total length of this tour.
On a partly cloudy day with 21C, we each drank 3.5 liter. We had many short breaks besides the long one mentioned at #15.
