Itinerary description
It is famous for it's breath taking scenery and rich wildlife.
The most commonly seen birds are the Yellow Beaked Magpie, Red Blood and Yellow Body Finches, White Cheek or Crested Grey Finch and many other birds.
Track is 4 kilometer long with several rest areas and one tuck shop. Elderly, kids and even toddlers can enjoy the track. You can take toddlers in baby strollers. The track is protected by wires on one side.
In winters, it's very slippery. Not dangerous, but people slip very often on it. Locals do sell socks, which you can wear on your shoes to avoid slipping but that only works 60%.
On Ayubia side, you can also visit Moto Tunnel, which was built in 1891. Very enchanting spot to capture a few click.
