Great job Harmen. Thanks for making these travel guides so we can experience your trips for ourselves also.
Very comprehensive and well-structured information material, good presentation supplemented with photos and recommendations for restaurants and cafes. Route data in various formats for downloading. Nothing is left to be desired.
Great hike and good way description
