The journey begins in the open countryside, where you can enjoy the initial gentle rolling hills. The terrain is generally smooth, making for an enjoyable start. As you progress, you'll find yourself navigating a mix of well-trodden paths and potentially some softer ground, especially as you approach the riverbanks.
