Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

Eye!! Very importantly, due to the flooding of the river, the road that ran parallel to the river has disappeared in a section and is almost impossible to pass except for 4x4 vehicles. Furthermore, in rainy weather the cars skid through the mud and the slopes cover it in a very dangerous trap, although Google maps tells you that there is a lane, but it is useless. This as of Easter 2025.

Very nice place, you can access it by car, we accessed it in a Mercedes Vito and the road is fixed even though you have to cross the river 3 times but it was not difficult at all for the vehicle.
