Very nice place located right next to a large open space/swamp. There was plenty of firewood when we were here in May. We also found some barbecue skewers. The shelter can accommodate about 4 people close together to sleep overnight.

Very nice little round of about 1km. It is the small part of a larger circuit (9km), well signposted. We only walked the short distance because it was raining very, very much. Definitely take anti-mosquito spray with you: otherwise they will eat you up ...
