Itinerary description

Started at 5.30 at Pik Palace and came back at 10.00 hiking 14 km in 4.5 hours. The trail starts with asphalt road changing after in gravel one. After crossing the work sites (security guy gave access to cross the closed area) we moved forward only through off roads. Sometimes we followed the goat trails hoping not to get lost. The most dificult part of the trail was when we got stucked standing on the edge of the abyss above village w/o knowing how to get down. Fortunately we found a little visible way through the gorge. All the way the view is amazing with many cascades, rivers and mountains. Not recommended to go in shorts as in some places there is tall grass with thorns. The way from Laza to hotel was the easiest part of the trail. You can shortcut the path considering that in some cases we were walking around looking for the right way.
