Itinerary description
This trail is a combination of very short official part with unofficial segment in order to make the trail circular.
The most interesting part is first 3-4 kms which goes along grazing area full of various birds and domestic cattle and which is more or less official part of the walk. The closer you get to antennas area the more dull are the surroundings. The finishing part which goes along highway is most annoying, unfortunately there is no shortcuts through antennas field.
SEASON: This trail is definitely for cool seasons, no shade. Better late winter and spring, when blooming is in full swing.
TERRAIN: quite flat walk. Most of the trail goes either along asphalt or gravel roads, apart from a short piece to bird’s observation tower.
SIGNS: there are almost no signs just those showing the way to the birds watching points, i.e. two. So I assume the whole trail is unofficial.
KIDS: walkable with kids of all ages

I don't recommend going the full trail as the second half goes through some military area. I was stopped by some military men there and asked what I'm doing here. I would recommend going the first 1/3 and then go back.
