From here it goes high! With an incline of up to 23%, one of the most difficult sections on the entire tour.

The padlocks were cut and police tape was placed around the hut. Apparently you had some.

On the one hand great that they are building a weather protection hut, on the other hand it is incomprehensible why they didn't give it three side walls. One can only hope that the rain will only occur without wind. Otherwise it remains to be feared that this hut will be of little use
