Itinerary description
|
Mountain bike route with climb to the Scandinavian Forest, a pine forest that has nothing to do with the Scandinavian landscapes but for the area in which we find ourselves is quite green. It goes through a "waterfall" that depending on the season may or may not carry water. Several villages are crossed with shops so in case of need you can find water and food. It crosses an authentic nomad village, curious. They are very sociable and they usually invite you to have tea in their shops, where they live and take care of the goats and sheep. There is a climb, by asphalt, before reaching the forest, which is called "impossible hill", you'll see why. On May 19, 2012 I managed to upload it once and for all !!!!!!! Best regards.

Great track! Some parts were difficult though, we had to take our bikes through a rather wild stream and had to walk uphill some other parts. But it was a great adventure!
