I've already been there a couple of times, but today I decided to hike the entire big trail, which we successfully did. We rode there along not exactly easy dirt and forest roads, and took the regular highway from Svente back. In total, the GPS shows 76 km, but out of those, we walked 12 km, drove 6 by car, and only the remaining 58 were on the bike.

If we had been caught, they'd have slapped us with a hefty fine, I think.
