Hiking

Outstanding walk to the former fort on the mountain top. With luck, you can find the wild koalas on the main path. But you have more success if you look for koalas on the way back a little to the left of the path in the forest. But please always calmly and with the necessary distance to not alarm the animals, even if they can only see a meter.

I saw most of the koalas because other hikers spotted them. So I stopped while others were staring intently.
