Itinerary description

This walk is on gravel road at first at the change from low forrest to dry high land. Views are nice over Armari valley and spectacular vertical cliffs up towards the mountain. The road change to asfalt on a new road, as we move upwards. The plan is to use the the old abandoned road down. At the decent we discover that the the abandoned road is eroded. It seems washed away in the upper parts. The road seems dangerous, so we decide to return to the new road, and walk down the same way, we came up. In case you want to try the old road, you should start from the valley going up.
