Good hiking place for various levels of fitness. The far end points (southern most points) are far out of the tracks shown in Google map. First timers should pay attention to that as it took hours more deep inside there than anticipated. Suggestions for custodian of the place: 1. Number the points on the map and put the numbers at the locations. 2. While distances on the map can be a useful hint, the suggested duration of travel would be more meaningful considering the diverse terrain. Consider indicating the duration also on the map. 3. Drinking water facilities.
