An easy and relaxed full day tour, maybe more cycling than mountain biking, but it has it all:
Cycling, some biking, culture, plus a swim in a natural hot spring!
From Permet you can go either over asphalt or natural track (other side of the river) to Petran, from where you take a new asphalt road towards “Benje/thermal springs”. After some kilometers, in a sharp corner, a turn-off to the left takes you over a small bridge and onto a 4×4 track. Rocky and some sections very steep, this not very long road takes you the village of Benje, nestled onto the mountain, full of old houses and with a superb stone church. After this cultural part – very much worth it – we go for the hot-springs: Back down to the asphalt road, a bit further on it, and soon you`ll find yourself fully relaxed in the natural warm water. Any time of the year! After a great day out you take the same way back to Permet.
Highlights: Old village of Benje, hot springs close to Benje.
Water/ Food/ Accommodation: You find water / minimarket and even some good restaurants along the tour, so no must to carry much with you.
