It is inspired by Michelangelo, who created the archetype of this hand in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. That's why Adam's seven-and-a-half-meter-high hand points to Rome as precisely as a compass needle points to the summit.

For the most part, it is true that there are broad paths. These are also very easy to walk on with gravel, even if the forest roads in the middle are no longer really accessible by car. Signs everywhere that the path does not lead any further.
The “narrower” passages are also easily accessible.
However, you should always pay attention to where you step, even on the wider paths.
Just to love the fauna! There are many butterflies that frolic near the ground or all the ant trails that cross the paths.
Various benches invite you to linger and relax.
