Tour 8: Trekking
This offer is not one of the usual "tours", but a series of trecks.
The participants should therefore bring a certain minimal fitness.
In between, we'll change location by off-road vehicle, in order to
visit several different types of scenery.
Please ask us for your preferred time period!
