Hazards
Beware of the BURLE!
A fog that comes quickly, is very thick and can make you spend the night outside, which is better to avoid if it's -10°C... I found myself disoriented even though I was only a few hundred meters from the inn and parking lot!
Another danger is barbed wire, most of it is removed for winter but sometimes some remains...
Obviously, don't venture just anywhere without minimum preparation and equipment, you risk getting lost, the plateau is very large and hilly.
GPS, survival blanket and charged phone are highly recommended for riding in this spot.
