    Good and accessible day hike. This is not a round circuit. You need to return the same way from the highest point - do not continue there, since you will be entering a remote wilderness area.

    Easy walk in the beginning, gets progressively more difficult and becomes challenging starting from 2000 m. The difficulty is proportional to humidity. The views from the summit are breathtaking.
