Trail Reviews
Beautiful route! The first part is unfortunately on a paved road, but the environment more than makes up for it. The planned crossing no longer existed or it had rained too much. Then continue up the mountain towards no man's land. A very good choice when passing the many beautiful waterfalls. Also here a flood over the road but with some art and flying work made it to the other side. A little further, use the wooden bridge to a pipeline to get to the other side. A bit past the original crossing there turned out to be a path higher up the hill (I had missed it for a moment) A decent climb but worth it. Up to the bridge we saw only 2 other hikers. The route at the bridge is a nice path but a lot busier...
