Nice tour, but unfortunately the navigation was faulty on the last 800m. The tour ends on a private road with a locked, insurmountable gate!

Too bad there was a closed gate at the end of the route that you had to climb over

We walked the circular route, but unfortunately you end up on private land and it is difficult to find your way out. Unfortunately, there was no early warning of this. But it is a beautiful, rocky path
