The initiative aims to separate the tourist routes from the bicycle ones and there to be no confrontations between riders and tourists. That’s why there are some new rules to be set down for the usage of the trails. In future the is a plan some small wooden bridges and north shores to be made so that the routes won’t cross each other. There is still a long way to walk before everything is finished, but the first results are here and more are to come during the Spring of 2010. A group will be organized to make the new trails and infrastructure.
