      First part until road is really nice with jumps and big berms. Second part is a shit

      Avoid the first part, only muddy!

      The middle part is ok, the last part is full of bushes

      The part shared with the hiking trail mostly involves a rough trail without much challenge, pretty tiring not much fun.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
