Εγκαταλελειμένο κομμάτι του μονοπατιού Μ5.
Τα νεροφαγώματα,τα ξηλωμένα σκαλιά, η αυξημένη μεταβολή της κλίσης,οι κλειστές απότομες στροφές, σε συνδυασμό με την ύπαρξη νερού και την λάσπη,μετά από βροχερές ημέρες,το καθιστούν δύσκολο.
Προσοχή στην ύπαρξη αγριογούρουνων,γιατί έχουν παρατηρηθεί πολλές φορές, η εμφάνισή τους, στη συγκεκριμένη περιοχή.

      Φίλε μου, βρές εσύ πράσινα μονοπάτια στο Σέιχ σου,χωρίς να σκοτωθείς.....Η χρωματική σήμανση γίνεται για προειδοποίηση στο βαθμό δυσκολίας και όχι ανάλογα τις ικανότητες του καθενός. Μην μπερδεύεσαι...
      Επίσης,προς ενημέρωση παντα,τα επόμενα κομμάτια του Μ5, είναι μονοπάτια πεζοπορίας...και όχι για ποδήλατο,ασχέτως που το τολμούν μερικοί...
