    Tips

    The ruins are a highlight because of their adventurous access. There's essentially no path, and you scramble over a very steep and difficult scree slope. Definitely not for the inexperienced! Keep in mind that the path up is challenging, but the descent is even more difficult. You shouldn't even attempt it without proper footwear, and it's best to use walking poles. Good, stable weather also helps.
