Hiking
This tour should NOT be done the way it is pictured here!
The trail down the cliff gets worse after a few minutes; there are neither handrails to hold on to nor stairs, instead the ground becomes rubble and large stones block the way.
There is no hiking trail or similar on the coast, instead, according to the route, you should walk several kilometers on wet, unpaved stones on a sloping coast directly in the stormy surf - this is simply life-threatening!
At that point we turned around and faced a 1.5 hour long walk back up the cliff.

If you start the route from the restaurant in an easterly direction, climb down to the sea, take the stony path along the sea and then walk the steeper mountain passage back to the restaurant, this path is not life-threatening.
You are in good physical condition, you need a sure footing and balance for the walk by the sea and some experience in mountain hikes for the ascent. Sticks are recommended, but not a must.
Dry weather and low water (tides can be viewed on the tidal fish website, for example) are highly recommended.
