The long alternative route goes along the limestone hills and is a bit of a surprise because there is a pine forest. The track terrain is full of gravel stones and there is a section of mud when you enter the Lawang Angin Cipatat forest. It is not recommended to pass during rain and strong winds, because the ridge is open. In the McD uphill segment the terrain is loose rock with a gradient of 15-16%. After Lawang Angin, the descent is quite steep with rock terrain, and only then we meet the casting road when we reach Cipangeran village.
