5 stars for the tracks themselves. This reserve is beautiful, with a special shade of green when raining (like it was today). 0 stars for the gpx route in this directory. It is hard to follow, and the indicator on the website map moves too fast to know whether to start on the road or head into the trails first. The description is less than helpful for this too, yet the trail intersections are well signposted. You'll have more fun running this if you ignore the route submitted to the directory and instead cover all the trails in any order. Of course this means no FKT.
