[Mid-September 2024] We actually almost got lost here. The tour can be done well up to the bathing spot, although it can get quite steep here. Afterwards, it's best to just go back the same way, because: No signal = no orientation. The path is only difficult to recognize in some places. Surefootedness and good footwear are recommended. It's best to start the hike in the morning when it's cooler and don't forget to bring drinks.
