 | Departure from the camping in Dantxaria at 7 am. Driving to this old bridge over the Bidasoa-river. The red line shows how to get on the trail to bm001. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | An obvious path (click photo to enlarge) |
 | but 'blocked' for an unknown reason by this ribbon. Never mind, just step over it. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | Note the red-white waymarks (click photo to enlarge) |
 | The trail climbs, (click photo to enlarge) |
 | giving this view to the river and road and (click photo to enlarge) |
 | makes a semi-circle (click photo to enlarge) |
 | to arrive further at this point. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | Zoom-in: red-white cross, still the trail continues in about that direction parallel to the river. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | But this is the spot where you have to turn left to descend SW to bm001. Note the rock. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | Zoom-in to the rock and a red-white cross on the tree. Descend between rock and tree (click photo to enlarge) |
 | on this trail which leads (click photo to enlarge) |
 | to this hillside with (click photo to enlarge) |
 | soon bm001 in sight. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | Bm001, a bit difficult to photograph the number without falling off the ridge into the river. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | Bm001, last picture. I return the same way, back to the road. This trip hence and forth to bm001 took me ± 1 hour. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | From the bridge (click photo to enlarge) |
 | this zoom-in to bm001. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | Bm001 (click photo to enlarge) |
 | This is a cycle track from Irùn along the river, in the background the old bridge. This is in fact an alternative route from Hendaye / Irùn towards bmoo1. From bm001 one might climb directly along the hillside to bm002. A steep climb of about 300m elevation. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | The cycle track is part of a much longer cycle track (click photo to enlarge) |
 | on a former railway line. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | This explains the project and (click photo to enlarge) |
 | this plan shows the total length. (click photo to enlarge) |
