Active In Riepe 

RIEPE - Perfect for Yoga, Pilates, and many other special interests; whether individually or small groups.  

 

Beyond the terraced fields of paddy the forest climbs up the hillside; it is very atmospheric and best visited in a small group out of respect for bear, wild boar and leopard although you are more likely to encounter timid deer.

 

For a longer leg-stretch and for views that rival Riepe's we can take a village guide and hike west along the trail that leads to the next small settlement.  There are but a few ageing inhabitants and yet they have what one walker described as a certain dignity in despair. There is an equally interesting way home by an alternative route.
