Meandering over 20 km through the forest, along muddy and steep roads, this trip is not just a physical challenge but also an opportunity to grasp the local saying: “Getting to your limit” always involves the forest, but never alone.

If every journey was mapped out ahead of time or easily conquered, we wouldn’t have those stories that make us smile to ourselves and say, “So I have discovered my limits and conquered them.” There would be no reminiscing about the unexpected twists in the trail that tested yet refined us.
