Curated schematic from named OpenStreetMap nodes (ODbL). The line is pin-to-pin, not a surveyed walking path. Pin-to-pin 2-D length 4.07 km is schematic — not walking distance and is not this DataPoint. The published distance is the cited ~14 km round (operator itinerary, secondary, provisional). Return retraces; the stored line is not doubled. Ascent and descent are Copernicus GLO-30 samples at those two pins only, not a walking profile, and remain provisional. The elevation-profile km axis follows the schematic pins, not the cited itinerary.
