There are practically undamaged stowages built in the year 1870\u00a0which was a part of a road that was constructed for pack horses and horseback riders.\u00a0Cairns were also constructed to guide travelers over the heath in bad weather and poor visiblitiy.\u00a0This old road was in use for 90 years,\u00a0over the last 20\u00a0years it was also used by cars.\u00a0The stowages are an exhibit of ancient handicraft and road construction that was made with handtools only.\u00a0This part of the old road is approximately 3 km long. It is a good option for a comfortable walk which is both educational and shows an example of transportation mode of previous centuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
