    Hiking

    Contrary to expectations, the hard lava rock is quite easy to walk on. Not as slippery as other paths on La Réunion 😅

    Hiking

    From here it goes down several hundred steps and there is a little shade from plants for the last time. In the crater you only walk between stones.

    Hiking

    From here you go almost vertically into the basin... there along the ever-present white dots across the lava field... there are always small highlights along the way.
    The points on the path serve as orientation as mist always rises from the sea and quickly turns the path to the summit into a wrong path
