Warning (on day 1333)
Overgrown foot path. Pushing required.
Length of this section: 0.13 km

Warning (on day 1333)
Dead end. The bike path connector that is visible here on OpenStreetMap doesn't exist anymore.
Length of this section: 1.61 km

Warning (on day 1334)
Pushing through deep sand. Easy when going downhill (to the beach), very difficult when going uphill (from the beach back to the bike path).
Length of this section: 0.15 km

Three times stairs. Consider cycling on the road.

The bike path along the coast that is shown by OSM has be demolished. Impossible to cycle there anymore, unfortunately. You can maybe try to cycle on the dam (gravel road), but when we were they, workers mowed the grass and closed the road for that.

On the western end of this section was a sign "road closed", on the eastern end it only said "danger – death road". Obviously, the road isn’t maintained anymore, but was very nice for cycling. Only once we had to push for 5 m due to fallen trees on the road.

Big landslide, it MIGHT not be impossible to lift your bicycle across but very difficult and not really safe – hardly doable, if you are alone. Definitely would NOT recommend to come here and try it. With a very heavy heart, we decided to turn around (the road is beautiful!). The only indication for the road closure was a corresponding temporary road sign located near the top of the dam at 33.75972, 133.55035. Nobody was working on removing the landslide when we were there.

The bike track is officially only accessible at a single entry point at 34.44362, 132.92801. You can also sneak in/out at 34.43262, 132.93441 over a steep overgrown ramp (pushing required) or by lifting your bike across a small fence at 34.44326, 132.91027. After doing so, we were told by staff in the evening we have to "go home" because the bike track is only open from 9 am to 5 pm. And when we entered it again in the morning to cycle it anticlockwise, cyclists there insisted that we have to go clockwise (so instead of finishing the whole loop or turning back, we sneaked out at the inofficial entry point in the south again).

Nice little road without any traffic along the expressway, BUT a permanent up and down (not flat like the expressway, unfortunately).

Pretty overgrown, hardly ridable. Got worse and worse, so I turned back. Would be an adventurous hiking trail, though.

Path fenced off, therefore dead end.

Unmaintained path, like even forest floor. 80% ridable, but lots of small fallen trees to overcome. Wasn't overly difficult, but very cumbersome. It took 35 min to cycle these less than 2 km.

Rather busy road with no shoulders or sidewalk.

Super steep road. We pushed downhill.

The bridge can only be reached by carrying up your bicycle a staircase of about 15 steps. Also, it's forbidden to cross the bridge by bicycle (we pushed and hoped it'll be fine ...).

We had to push across a field here.

Pretty bumpy hiking path, pushing required. One staircase. This section took us 20 min.

Two tunnels of the more umcomfortable kind. Rather trafficy, very narrow. At the first (southern) tunnel we didn't see any road sign that indicates that bicycles are forbidden in the tunnel, but there were not less that three such sign in front of the second tunnel. We went through anyway (the pass road over the tunnel was closed with boom barriers). Not particularly recommended.

Rather bumpy forest track, sometimes pushing required. This one kilometer took us 12 min.

There are signs in front of the tunnel according to which cycling through the tunnel is forbidden. There's no shoulder or sidewalk and the road is rather trafficy. 10 km later, at the traffic-free road along the reservoir, a police car stopped us; they were called by somebody who saw us cycling through the tunnel and they told us it is dangerous and we must be careful (which is probably a friendly way of telling us that we shouldn't cycle through the tunnels). We told them that that single tunnel has no alternative but from now on we will stay on the smaller roads without tunnels. That was fine, we didn't have to pay a fine or so and they were very friendly.
