Itinerary description
Something screwed up with my GPS tracking , so it recorded straight lines :) but the trail is very obvious and pretty well marked , so you wont get lost.
I tried to go on beyond the "going down junction" just exploring what is there , but there wasn't any special view to make it worth it and I reached signs saying "no trespassing" , so I went back.
The way down from the "going down junction" was a bit more steep than the way up , so I recommend doing the trail the other way around (= clock wise) and not like I did , you knees will thank you.
It's a truly nice hike , it offers a view from the top , a waterfall at the beginning and walking along a river , I did it in April 2018 and everything was green / blooming and the river /waterfall were running.
