   The minibus will bring you through a beautiful landscape and small villages to the starting point of the walk. Travelling time about 45 minutes. We start at an altitude of 500m from sea level, decent approximately 250m.the first few hundred meter are a little steep. Down the walking path becomes easy. Totally walking distance about 5 km. This route is just enough to don’t “suffer” from muscle pain the day after. Half way there is a resting point in the shadow of the trees, next to the river.
