The experience

This should feel like a journey rather than a pin on a map. This becomes more interesting as a ROUTE rather than a simple place listing: nature park → footpaths → hidden woodland → Templar story. The listing needs a clear start, route shape, surfaces, difficulty, best direction, worthwhile stops and a strong finish.
