Tips from the Community
Unfortunately, I only managed to get 200 ml from the water dispenser, and then nothing more came out. When planning your trip, it's always best to include all water sources.

Definitely a challenging climb on concrete ramps (never a good sign when it comes to slope, but at least the surface is perfect), but the view and the tranquility are worth the effort.
