Itinerary description

This trail is a beautiful short loop track. It get's it name from the Hermann's tortoise that can be seen along the track on warm days.
The trail starts of at the administration building of the National Park. Leaving the big path behind and turning right into the forest before ascending the hill. The path is a little overgrown but marked. Follow the path uphill and be sure not to loose it in the forest. The path makes a sharp U-turn before descending. After a while the trail reaches a water channel and follows it for a while. Be sure not to miss the turn of to get back to the starting point.
