OK Cameo, you've got me! It was a cloudy day but there was no mist, so one could see the whole area. I was not lucky enough the day we drove to the lakes and I didn't enjoy the view. Next time...
About the terrain now: We had to drive for about 20 km in a "back road" ( or dirt road - not on tarmac ) and then for about 5 km on a very rough surface with a few mud areas and a lot of stones and rocks . There where also some trees fallen across the road, so we had to use my chain saw for a couple of times...! It was raining all day and it was not the perfect day for that ride.
