Itinerary description

I was very lucky cause the trail was dry, humid but no mud. That is why i reached the top in a bit over an hour. The ascent is more than wikiloc says, 390 in total, but it is not very steep until the part with the ropes and mostly up and down. It is mostly a forest walk. View from the top is awesome. You could start from the gorge viewpoint as well, it is pretty. I followed anton's hike and i have to say, when it is muddy the total hike will take more than 3 hours, it took me 2.20 h with 15 minutes at the top. The ropes are a bit tricky and be careful cause some of the small tree roots are not steady in the ground. Easy hike if not muddy and when you have a bit of hiking experience. Wear mosquito spray, lots of bugs!! Trail is really easy to follow and there are little red tags as well, you won't get lost. I started at 7 am and did not meet anyone on the trail, although some people were going when I exited.
