As you can see, it no longer looks much like a road. Now, I could have walked back the way I came, but I decided instead to walk along the nature trail, to see where that ends up. I knew it hit the road again eventually, so I wouldn't get lost.

Walking along the trail gives you a better view of the scene below. The river has really destroyed that road!

This made me laugh. At some point in the past, somebody had built a small wall here to protect the path, and amazingly it worked! A huge pile of rubble teetered above the tiny row of stones.

The summer view is a bit prettier. Deciduous trees don't look their best in the winter. However, the blue snake of the river does add a bit of colour to the picture.

Now I was beginning to get a bit uneasy. I had to drive back up to Vretsia somehow. You can see the firebreak in the distance, and from here it doesn't look that steep. Up close is another matter though.
