A staircase leads up from the north side and the cannon path to the south. I recommend coming from the north, then the view from the southern vantage point is the icing on the cake. The promenade is a trail, but easy to walk and nice and quiet.

small secret path on the edge of the whorl plateau, partly too overgrown in summer - could quickly lead to wet clothes after rain.
The view from the southern point is a cherry on top.

In autumn or spring, when the fog is still lightly on the plants, it is a nice walk through the promenade
