The place is highly recommended, but it can get very crowded very quickly on sunny days and weekends.

Yes, once you're here... but the trails on the last 1.5km or so were really borderline for me: steep, narrow, overgrown, extremely tight curves, and then there were four large fallen tree trunks. I had to unbuckle everything from my bike and somehow hoist the bike over, sweating and panting, sob! But otherwise, great!!!
