I managed on the path with tyres ment for asphalt. Partly path has big stones and roots of the trees on the way but mostly route is enjoyable with bicycle. By The Lake of Bisa there are wooden bences built right near the water, where you can eat your picnic or just enjoy the view. Also next to the lake is a rocky hill. On the top of the hill is cooking shelter, where you clime up along built stairs. The view is beautifull, over the lake area.
