This path is an absolute highlight. However, it is only suitable for the ascent! Good footwear and alpine experience are important. The effort is worth it - with outstanding views and wonderful fauna
This path is an absolute highlight! But only suitable for climbing! I recommend: good shoes and alpine experience! Vale la pena: exceptional panoramas and wonderful fauna!

Hiking

The view is truly beautiful! The climb was a bit strenuous; there was no proper path anymore, just lava rocks. It was short, though, so it's absolutely doable – as long as you're wearing hiking boots! The path down on the northwest side is a bit rocky and muddy in places, but still manageable.
