    I happily found this track and undertook to master it today.
    Overall interesting, with great panoramic views and challenging tracks.
    On the downside: the single-trail parts are in bad shape. Forest works had destroyed (!) the trails.
    It would be good if the local authorities could repair those badly damaged parts.
