What a beautiful place to stop early in the morning. View over the water and the sound of geese in the mist. The sun rising and trying to find its way through the mist. I enjoy this!

Smugglers' route border crossing

Beautiful 100% unpaved surface. With many frog ponds, beautiful views.
You can split this walk into 8 km (smuggling path) and 4.5 km (red signage).
The signage is perfectly placed. …
