The plan

Start in Lisi Park by the lake, head onto the hillside trails and walk towards Digomi. This is one of my favourite everyday routes: an easygoing walk with plenty of reasons to stop and look around. Allow about four hours at a relaxed pace, including photos and breaks. Finish in Digomi and call a taxi from there.

The route also works well for trail running and cycling if you are comfortable on dirt and narrow paths. For walking, choose shoes with a grippy sole. Leave your favourite white trainers at home: puddles collect in the ruts, and rain can leave plenty of mud. Bring water and a snack.

Important: there is a rifle shooting range on lower ground near the trails. Our choice of path takes it into account. Download the GPX from this chapter and follow the recorded route. Do not take shortcuts through the low ground or follow paths towards the range. If shooting is taking place nearby or access is blocked, do not continue towards the range.
