Hiking
Because we couldn't drive our campervan all the way to the top, we parked a bit further down and hitchhiked up. Then we made a wonderful path to the oldest trees in the world, then visited a wonderful alpine lake and then made a 5 km long, 11% gradient steep way back. Now we know what we've done!
