Beautiful tour with great, varied forest trails. Some very steep climbs, which always alternate with somewhat flatter sections.
Very exhausting at 25°, although a lot in the forest.

Super nice circular hiking trail. Well signposted. And if you want, you can take your bathing suit with you in the summer. The tour starts at a small, beautiful outdoor pool.
