If you follow the route as indicated in the app, the hike begins quietly and pleasantly. The first section is indeed an easy walk through the forest, with few technical difficulties. Here you can truly enjoy the nature and the views, and it's a perfect warm-up for what's to come.
The second part of the hike takes you to the mountain and the first gorges. This section is also manageable, with a few rocky sections that offer a bit of an extra challenge, but still manageable for most people. You'll notice you have to pay a little more attention, but it's still a perfectly manageable challenge.
But then... come the last two gorges. This is where things get really tough. The route changes from a walk to a climb, and the scrambling begins. But the real challenge lies in the very last gorge. Here, you have to climb over rocky ledges, several meters high, without any safety equipment or ropes. This makes it particularly risky.
The fact that there are no ropes or other safety measures makes this section of the route quite irresponsible. It's a section where you really have to be careful and where things can easily go wrong, especially for those unaccustomed to climbing at such heights. It's not without reason that I saw people turn around and not continue along the way. This section should definitely be made safer, for example, by adding ropes or other safety measures.
All in all, it was a beautiful, but also somewhat dangerous, experience. The view was fantastic, but the final gorge made it a bit less enjoyable. If you're looking for a challenging climb and have rock climbing experience, this might be the adventure for you. But I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for the average hiker.
