The place is nice. But it's under reconstruction now. So I don't recommend going there,

The largest natural geological formation on the European continent is proof of nature's mastery. The spectacular landscape offers an unforgettable visual experience, captivating with its scale and beauty. The implementation of traditional food serving points would considerably increase the tourist attractiveness of the area, there is a terrace but here we only found fast-food food, although the menu is diversified, they said that they currently have nothing else. This initiative would contribute to the valorization of the cultural and culinary heritage of the region.
