Hiking

The path to the Dragon's Cave is NOT directly signposted and is a dead end: It only leads to the Dragon's Cave - and NOT further down into the valley! (There is a separate path for that.)

But the way to the dragon cave is worth it in my opinion!

Hiking

After the stairs, you follow a narrow path secured with a railing to the rock shelter. Interesting to look at.
