    A challenging track at certain sections but mainly moderate through stunning nature. Highlight is the path at the edge of the lake. The water is not deep but you need to drive closely near the land.

    Starting the day with crossing Tungná - which takes quite some time as the crossing takes place where the river is divided into lots of lanes, some deeper than others. The hiking is easy, solid ground to walk on. An old ...

    Redelijk onbekende route door de bergen terug naar de F208. Na waypoint 6 erg steil omhoog met flinke kuilen net voor de top. De rsst is goed te doen en erg fraai.
