At one point you can go straight or you take the trail to the right and it's your first uphill; that hill is longer than expected and definitely not meant for a bike, going up or down. Correction only if you are a very experienced mountain biker could you handle this part of the trail going down.

Highlights were the pretty flower meadow and the dark & atmospheric...
