The gravel and here and there an old threshold let it assume that it must be an old railway embankment. Later, there was still a whole track piece. The path will certainly continue a little further, but is not shown on the map as such.

Coming from Zehista very bumpy at first. Lots of roots and old railway sleepers. Must like. But then it gets better and better in the direction of Dohma.
