Tips from the Community
It is a very worthwhile route. From what we have seen when doing it, there is a change in the route right at the viewpoint. Currently, the markings indicate that you have to continue along the path with the large green fence, which then joins up again with the path indicated on the route, it is like a shortcut. As a tip, if it has frozen or rained, wear good mountain footwear that allows you to climb muddy slopes, since there is one quite steep one that, with mud, is difficult to climb. Otherwise, a very pleasant route, not very long and with beautiful landscapes.
