What a lovely walk!
The gravel road for the first two kilometres has just deteriorated again with the recent storms at the end of August.
It's still passable for a road bike and the gradient is never severe.
This path offers a lesson in geology and plate tectonics. The folding of the layers on the right and left is spectacular.
A pretty waterfall crosses the road.
Seven patous (yes, 7!) watch over a herd and as the fence is neither high nor solid, we strongly advise you to get off the bike for a hundred metres or so.
Not a dull moment. Yes, really, this little climb is very pleasant.
I'm hesitating between three and four stars.
Très jolie balade !
La route « gravel » sur les deux premiers kilomètres, vient encore de se dégrader avec les derniers orages de fin août.
Elle reste praticable pour un vélo de route et le pourcentage n’est jamais sévère.
Ce chemin offre une leçon de géologie et de tectonique des plaques. À droite comme à gauche, les plissements des couches sont spectaculaires.
Une jolie cascade traverse la route.
Sept patous (oui, 7 !) veillent sur un troupeau et comme la barrière n’est ni haute, ni solide, il est fortement conseillé de descendre du vélo sur une centaine de mètres.
On ne s’ennuie pas. Oui, vraiment, cette petite ascension est très plaisante.
J’hésite entre trois et quatre étoiles.
