Hiking

Made in August! A little crowded parking in the parking lot. The view is worth the detour. Push down the right bottom of the stairs to reach the caves :)

Hiking

The path to the crater's interior remains closed. A large information sign explains the problems of erosion and demonstrates the difficulty of restoring the path.
