Really impressive mountain / volcano. You can drive amazingly far up the mountain by car - only the last few hundred meters up to the edge of the crater, it is then still climb. You have to buy the ticket at the little house in the last corner - many people like me had to run back from the kiosk / access area to get a ticket.

Very beautiful and mystical hiking section, unfortunately, you can not even walk around but has the same way back, also costs entrance
