The kitchen had already closed at 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, so there were no hot or cold food left. Only cake and ice cream, but that was good. 💲💲Cash only. 💲💲

This hut/shelter was perfect for us (2p) to spend the night. It has a little river next to it were you can wash your clothes (its not big enough to go bathing). Very open space. Around 8 in the morning, some people arrived. Until eleven, the place was full with some nice locals and a family of five. So if you stayll in the summer, dont stay too long it is a „popular“ spot. Accessible with which means anyone can go there fast.
