Hiking

Great views. If arriving on foot you can gain access to the restaurant via a blue door at the rear. Press the bell button on the keypad (above the number 2) and smile into the black circle (camera) above. The door will either be opened remotely or a staff member will let you in. Sign the register; they won't let you out if you arrived via the train.
