Hiking
The path is almost obliterated and without navigation it is impossible to find the right direction. The terrain is dangerous in places, as there are areas with boulders and large gaps between them, and the boulders themselves are covered with vegetation. Poles are required for safety reasons. Mandatory waterproof shoes and trousers if one decides to cross the field early in the morning while it is still wet or in rainy weather.

Hiking
The path is non-existent, there is absolutely no trace of it for at least 3-4km. You have to wade through bushes and thistle, traverse rocks (some of which unstable) and pass through a swampy area with bog holes which you can't see. We are young people in good physical shape and still struggled with it. Definitely do not go with kids or elderly people. Don't make our mistake of thinking it's not that bad...

Hiking
There's no path there; we walked along it because we had no other option and needed to get to the other valley. It's essentially a traverse of knee- to hip-high bushes for about four kilometers. If you still want to take the path, you should definitely wear long trousers and sturdy shoes, as the bushes have very sharp needles that will otherwise scratch your entire shin. You should also plan on about three hours for this section. This "path" is definitely not recommended! Avoid it at all costs!
