RIDER'S NOTEBOOK
- • A mountain bike or gravel bike is best suited for this path, as it consists mainly of packed dirt and light gravel.
- • The valley can get quite humid, so insect repellent is a very smart addition to your pack.
- • This trail requires a short drive inland from the city centre to reach the best starting points.
