What an unforgettable experience! The cable car ride offered breathtaking views of the mountains and surrounding landscape. We were so amazed by the scenery that we ended up spending the entire afternoon and evening at the top, simply enjoying the beauty around us. The views were truly spectacular and made this one of the highlights of our trip. The only downside was that we didn't realize what time the cable car stopped operating, which left us stranded on the mountain. However, this was entirely our own mistake and not the fault of the organization. Despite that, we had an incredible time and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. Just be sure to check the closing times before heading up! 😊🏔️🚠

Awesome hike, the walking difficulty isn't too hard but it's easy to get lost. Several areas are military. On my way up I took a few wrong turns, which made me end up in beautiful areas but it is not where I wanted to go. More signs would be nice haha. But lovely area, just don't get lost.
