Very beautiful viewpoints and wonderful landscape. However, the ascent is quite demanding and rather unsuitable for small children. For these reasons, this tour is also not as overcrowded as some others.

A bit of balance is required here when crossing the small stream. After all, a narrow wooden bridge leads across. But why not just take off your shoes and take the opportunity to refresh your feet?
