Tips
The Nesque road, which allows you to travel through the heights of the Nesque gorges, offers some lovely surprises like this rocky arch.

Beautiful, but you should approach the descent with caution, especially on the way down. Due to the road's position in the ravine, it usually curves to the right, so you only see oncoming traffic in the tunnel – or extremely limited cyclists who stop right there to look – and since it's so narrow, it can quickly become the same. After the first full-throttle descent, I learned to prefer cruising. At least in the tunnels, which become fewer and fewer towards the end.
