Itinerary description
This is an interesting place to visit. A small town built in the ‘70s and abandoned shortly after. The desert is reclaiming its territory. You can access it with a saloon car from the E55 or by 4x4 from the E44. Personally, I would not drive all the way down here just to visit the town. The offroad part is less than 10 minutes of driving and is almost flat. I wondered around to see if there was some interesting dune to ride, but not. I suggest to combinenthosngisit this with another activity in the area.
But it remains definitely a place to visit before the same will delete its existence.

Visit the houses inside
With a little caution, you can visit the houses. Avoid the one with the sand on the roof, the integrity of the ceiling could be compromised by the weight.
