Altre informazioni:
The upper Dee valley is magnificent, the great river winding on a very flat bottom, which is initially littered with the remains of old crofts, some at least vestiges of the often tragic highland clearances, before turning up into the high Cairngorms and gradually narrowing. The glen is dotted lower down with the remains of the ancient Caledonian forest. The hillsides are (of course) clothed in trademark heather. High above are moorland, peaks, beetling crags and purple hillsides. The central Cairngorm NP is a huge, roadless, protected area teeming with precious wildlife and rare and delicate plants. Wildlife includes eagles, ptarmigan, deer and mountain hares. The track starts from the roadhead at Linn of Dee, and is immediately delightful, winding through ravishing open Caledonian forest.
