As is well known, the path is the goal ... many roads lead to Rome ... no longer see the forest for the trees ... these proverbs all fit here. Obviously to be seen from almost everywhere, but first find the way! Finally found a great place to stay. The weather is very intense up here and you can take great photos

It was particularly nice to experience the sunrise at the banks on the mountain at 6:30 am in mid-August.
