Tips

We hiked the Covid loop (yellow and red lines) clockwise. The ascent was OK. The rocky landscape was spectacular. The Slut was also impressive, but considering the many rocks, it was just another somewhat more exclusive highlight among many.

The descent, however...described in Komoot as well-maintained hiking trails, no special skills required. It's an overgrown trail with (very) high steps and scree sections. Very good fitness and surefootedness are required to safely navigate it. The less than three hours for the loop is also very ambitious. At the end of the descent, there was a dog park with some very aggressive dogs running loose on the trail; we felt like we barely made it through unscathed. Next time, I'd turn around at the Slut and take the same route back.

Be sure to bring plenty of drinks.

Great scenery, very tiring.
