The descent down to the lake in the crater is an absolute dream. The unique flora in the crater leaves us in awe. However, what we descend, we have to climb back up again on the way back. A short, but worthwhile tour!

The path to the lake is steep and sometimes very slippery, sometimes with ladders - this should be taken into account with children or people who are not completely sure-footed. However, the magnificent view of the lake and the surrounding landscape is rewarding.
