    Good views on a nice day, there are lots of options to make it longer. Wouldn’t advise on a wet day due to lack of views but also there are quite a few waterfall crossings which are absolutely fine, but maybe not if rain...

    Easy flat lake hike. Not much to it. (except for 3 sections on wet narrow single trails, rest can be cross skated. These sections can be easily avoided)

    Not really a hike, but a nice and easy sunday walk of about 3 hours.
