Tips

🕊️ 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒓

September 23, 2023

Cycling

On some maps marked as Karparatania View Point, this is the highest spot of the southeastern Buffalo Circuit dirt road loop, with panoramic vistas just before the steep descent back into the park valley.

Hiking

Sweeping views from the overlook to the north. Some trees are blocking parts of the view that need to be cut. There is a small ramshackle improvised bench. Overall the park lacks maintenance, particularly considering the steep entrance prices, that's double of the prices of more famous international parks, such as Yosemite in the US.
