    Tips

    August 22, 2023

    The entire section can be divided several times.
    First of all, starting from the west (Salavaux / Le Chablais), jogging, walking or biking (in the season / holiday season and on weekends not recommended) over the neatly maintained / tidy sandy beach and subsequent pebble beach in the morning.
    Then you drive (!) through a camping area, which has its charm due to the beautiful and large trees despite the operation.
    But the last part is tough, at least for bikers. It is often pushed, lifted or whatever. It is really wildly romantic, on longer sections you get a real jungle feeling. The vegetation (depending on the season) is rampant and getting through is more designed for pedestrians and in most places at most handlebar width, but often less. In addition, long trousers are not wrong. Otherwise, the many spikes and nettles have an easy time, as does the very special pointed grass, which rises up almost like a thorn/steel and usually leaves its mark up to knee height.
    Boarding is not possible, the few and short sections that can really be ridden in the third part are very winding, crooked, peppered with roots and the transverse trunks everywhere are natural brakes, which in view of the natural environment is more beneficial than an annoyance (Sometimes it is better to push underneath, sometimes over it, or sideways through the bushes).
    In many places you ask yourself, left or right... the wider path is usually right (or just wrong, if you want to get to really remote corners, but that can only be done on foot without exception)!
    No matter which section, bathing, resting, enjoying nature is possible almost everywhere. However, only the first section has waste bins. Unfortunately, during my tour I discovered rubbish everywhere in the hidden bays and corners (and disposed of a considerable part of it properly). This does not have to be the case, as the goods arrive, they can also be taken back. Either you didn't understand the experience of "nature" and the principle of decency, respect and responsibility, or you were no longer able to implement the "common sense" that has been overused again and again, or you're just fooling around about things like that!
