Excellent little hike. Keep fit and get a great view. You can go up in the middle of the day because you are shaded by trees

The climb was fun, but extremely tiring in the heat. Be sure to take drinks with you! There is a stand downstairs where you can stock up. The climb took about 1.5 hours, the view was quite nice, but you shouldn't stay up there for too long as the descent in the dark is quite adventurous. But we got to see fireflies ;)

Great path and fantastic views. We set off at 6:30 so that we didn't have to struggle too much with the hot temperatures.
