So beautiful: The Rambla de Algeciras reservoir is a crucial water reservoir in the Region of Murcia, Spain. It was built for flood control (of the Segura River), water storage, and irrigation regulation. The area offers many hiking and cycling opportunities and offers views of the nearby Barrancos de Gebas.

To Bullsbiker - you're right, I also saw that Hans is just collecting points so he can be a pioneer everywhere, that's not right. I'm going to try to report Komoot, what he's doing isn't right. I also discovered he has several accounts but only pays for one.

Hans is a points collector; he's not one of the honest Komoot friends. Komoot needs to ban people like him. As I've seen, he also has multiple accounts to collect points with. 🧐
