Itinerary description

I have to say the views at this hike and the landscape all together is really stunning if not breath taking at times.
It's a good length hike if you are prepared and fit for it. It comes with two peaks what is rather uncomfortable.
I cannot say much more about the hike in regards "what to do or where to go"...
On 80% of the hike the paths are soo over grown by bushes and all sorts of weeds and itchy things... That I got really lost a couple of times. If you are not following a perfect layed out path from this app you would struggle to find your own way.
Nothing on this hike is anyhow obvious. And I hated to have to look on my phone all the time.

I do like a hike through the wild and rather unbeaten paths. But this hike was ridiculous. Almost dangerous.
After a year of COVID and no tourists I understand that mother nature took back what is hers.

But therefore I would not recommend anyone to go this hike unless the government would clear out the path.

If anybody still wants to go and get the thrill - be my guest.

Try not to get lost.
