Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

you recommend to do this tour in Spring - as I know that due to weather conditions it might be early for hiking, do you think it is already possible in March / April to do this tour? as I am traveling alone, I would be interested in maybe joining a group - do you know about any planned groups for this ? (if I understood right, you do not offer tours, you rather describe them, right?)

I am looking forward hearing from you! kind regards, Carmen Schwarz

Dear Carmen
Thank you for noticing incorrect info (we already corrected it). This route is recommended starting from the second half of June until the end of September. This trail is quite new for the travellers and we do not know if any hiking club is going to do the trail for now. Keep yourself posted, as the commercial offers will appear on the web later during the spring.

Dear Davit, thank you for your answer, I will keep myself posted. best, Carmen
