This section of the bicycle corresponds to the old post office on which the carriages used to transport the mail. It is sometimes steep uphill and with packed touring bike you sometimes have to push sections, as well as the ground is not easy to drive, but with a mountain bike, it should not be a problem. The path goes past a climbing park, first on a road, then into the forest over gravel and tree roots. In the middle are 2 idyllic lakes with lots of livestock and some nice places to stay.
