This is the longest and most strenuous route in the Tranquilitas trail network. But definitely well worth the effort. This trail takes you to the highest point on the opposite ridge, with spectacular views. An exciting run on the ridge through a long singletrack section of grassland and then a heart stopping 5km drop to the river crossing. A great long downhill, with little or no time to enjoy the view. A relaxed climb back to the campsite * will be rewarded with a coffee or cold drink at the reception hut.
