Very wet affair... you could also call it a mud hike.

A beautiful hike. Different terrains with different levels of difficulty ensure variety. A certain level of fitness is required, but otherwise it is doable for the whole family, including children and grandparents. Once you reach the top, there is also a shelter and a fire pit for spending the night outdoors.
