On the second day, we plan to walk around the village for about 2 hours, about 3-4km, and with a difference in elevation of about 50-100m (about 2-3 hours including breaks). The numbers are approximate estimates of the model course before on-site confirmation, and the elevation difference is the difference between the highest and lowest points within the section. There are some slopes and unpaved roads, so please wear comfortable, non-slip shoes. If you have any concerns about walking, please consult us before making your reservation. The actual course will be determined based on weather, road, and reception conditions.
