サンニコロディコメリコの天然記念物・トップ19

I ride normally up to S3. The uphill sections are mostly manageable with good technique and E, but very challenging. A small section in the middle is S4. The rest is more like S2, but not easy and not at all suitable for beginners. Not particularly flowy for advanced riders either. The scenery is great, though.

As long as the peat moss can be fed by groundwater, it is a classic fen. However, when the living part of the peat gradually grows above the local groundwater level and can only be fed by rainwater, the fen becomes a raised bog (also called rain bog) and gradually grows in height.

Really beautiful summit with a bench to rest on and summit crosses. Incredibly beautiful panoramic view. And here I was completely alone.

A small, narrow path branches off from a crossroads. The sign is somewhat hidden. You leave the usual wide paths and enter a wonderfully quiet area. Walk along great paths and at the top you experience real summit happiness. A wonderful panoramic view!

In the middle of the trail there is a 1.5 m high pasture fence with a narrow chicane through which the bike must be carried at head height.

As a link between water and land, bogs are home to a diverse, highly specialized flora and fauna. Fens arise on waterlogged soils or through the gradual silting up of shallow lakes.

It's just beautiful, isn't it?

A worthwhile hike if you can enjoy views like this.
