Hiking

The hike starts at a small parking lot and leads first along a water pipe from the mountains. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
The way is sometimes demanding and solid shoes are recommended. In spite of warmth one should not do without long pants, unless one wants to make an unpleasant acquaintance with gorse.
