Take the right path!

Highlight • Other

The waterfront path I took is crowded and difficult. Only for experienced and motivated hikers. You'll want to turn back, but you'll be proud of yourself if you successfully cross this path. And the dam offers unique views.

Highlight • Lake

Both a place of natural beauty and a lair of James Bond villains, this place is nothing short of spectacular.
