After 25％ of the route the road becomes unpaved and is only passable with a mountain bike, even a gravel bike is difficult I think. Unfortunately not suitable for a racing bike, but by the way a very beautiful route.

Na 25％ van de route wordt de wegonverhard en is het alleen begaanbaar met een mountainbike, zelfs een gravelbike wordt lastig denk ik. Helaas niet weggelegd voor een wielrenfiets, wel overigens een ontzettende mooie route.
