Beautiful walk for experienced walkers. Well marked trail but not maintained on the heights. (No clearing). You will have to accept a few scratches or wear pants.

Only a little way down the valley you will find a hole in the rock, from which water that tastes of water and nothing else runs intensely. Ideal for replenishing water supplies.
