Hiking recommendation. If you want to hike around the lake, I recommend going from the grotto back to the ski area (winter) or the mountain bike trails (summer) and continuing the circular route. I've attempted the climb myself. However, I advise against it unless you're sure-footed and experienced climbers. There's an increased risk of falling here. Furthermore, after the climb, you have to make your way through the undergrowth for another 100-200 meters before you reach the hiking trail again. I therefore don't recommend this direct route.
