When you come back to the main road after the quarry, you stay to the left of the crash barrier, at the level of the street on the other side that you have to enter, you can safely cross the main road via a small tunnel

Apart from the quarry, it's not a pleasant hike. It's sunny and mostly on asphalt. The former military site is completely neglected and serves as a garbage dump.

The quarry is very commendable. Unfortunately, the "lost place" looks more like a rubbish dump. The small section on the highway is a bit problematic …
