I hope this list of our videos of backroads can help to decide whether or not to drive one.
Please note that all videos are NOT representative for the current state of those roads. You should inform you before driving them and drive with care.
You can see here an example of a dirt road of which the conditions changed dramatically within a few hours. In the morning everything was hard and frozen but after a couple of hours of sunshine it became extremely muddy.
Fortunately this time there was a friendly German couple who helped us out of the dirt. But this might not happen every time...
