Top tip from the holiday home 💡

« This is a real guest favourite among our visitors! You don’t need to be super fit to enjoy it: the electric motor does all the hard work on the uphill sections. Simply wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit muddy or dusty, and keep your eyes peeled along the forest tracks! Make sure to book online beforehand as tours depart in small groups. »
