    Hiking

    Start of an alternative path to the top. Be careful, it is very steep and in places poorly paved. But in return you get a picturesque trail with a great view.

    Hiking

    Really steep! Watch your step carefully. Hiking poles are helpful.

    Hiking

    Easy is different. Be sure to bring hiking poles. Not recommended during or after rain, as it's slippery.
