More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You ease onto the dirt and the city falls away — a ribbon of gravel unspools beneath new Suzuki Jimnys as spruce and beech close in. The engine chatter becomes rhythm and the trainer beside you calls the next line through a shallow stream; the Jimny answers, grabbing footholds on rock and mud as the valley opens to a wild view.
