    Beautiful hike to explore the local nature. Quite steep at some parts, good shoes and long pants advised

    First part is straightforward, following a series of small horse trails. After you turn right to start the long loop back, it’s a bit more improvisation. Take sturdy shoes, long pants and plenty of water.
