“Although it looked beautifully sunny, as I had mentioned in an earlier post … the morning (and day) was not warm! The temperature was about 1°C when we started the trail. But, still, we were thankful that at least it was a beautiful day. [...] We soon left the fenced area and pasture behind … and continued on our way. From here, we later had to go through a section of the trail where the slope was quite steep … before we finally arrived to this hamlet where we saw many barns or sheds spread across the area. Feeling tired and hot from the steep climb … I had to stop for a quick rest before continuing.”
