Hiking

Warning: the hike is actually quite easy, however: 1) this corner is the hottest corner on the island! take enough water and sun protection, there is almost no shade 2) shortly before the end of the path the path was broken off (in 2019) and you have to climb a little bit. Nothing dramatic, but at this point definitely no slippers or something like that, but surefootedness and a little bit of a head for heights
