The tour offers an impressive landscape with a combination of water, steep rock formations and wonderful views over the reservoir. The circuit leads around the reservoir on partly technical single trails, wide gravel paths and shorter road sections. There are some rocky sections with short, tough climbs.

A complete circuit takes a while but it is a nice day trip. You can also find some stones if you are interested in geology.
