After that, however, the countryside becomes much prettier, and there are some great views. The last part of the walk takes you down into the Dilar valley. Here there are lots of small streams and some lush meadows that are perfect for a picnic. Continue reading

In spring and early summer there are lovely wild flowers everywhere along the route. Continue reading
