An impressive area, slightly neglected, which is a great pity, although you can see that the grass is being cut, and there is a building with a catering service under the monument on the access road. In the immediate vicinity is a part of the monument that is closed and cannot be entered. The very arrival to the monument leaves you breathless, because nature is completely unaffected by man, except for the road on which you can safely travel.
