Pleasant route, along the river inside a small wood.

It is certainly worth getting here, except that if you continue along path 140 it stops being signposted and following the trail you find yourself climbing over a barbed wire, continuing the path starts again. Considering that at that point you could see cattle and hear dogs barking, you had the impression of finding yourself on someone's land. I therefore recommend going back. It's a shame because that side isn't bad

Leaving the pine forest, all traces of the path are lost. Proceed in the tall grass following the GPS track
