Walking and cycling

Because of its hilly nature and its pleasant climate the area lends itself perfectly to walking or cycling tour. The small winding roads through small hamlets or the forests invite for a nice walk or bike ride. There are several well documented footpaths and trails, but you can also find you way with a good map. Experience the tranquillity, the scents and the colours this beautiful landscape has to offer.
