A very long climb that takes you from sea level to the highest point on the island. The ascent can be very tiring, as it is over 40 kilometres. You pass through all kinds of vegetation. Beware, there are no petrol stations or bars on the entire climb. So take enough to drink with you. (I speak from experience)

Sehr langer Anstieg, bei dem man von Meereshöhe auf den höchsten Punkt der Insel klettert. Der Anstieg kann ich sehr ziehen, es sind immerhin über 40 Kilometer. Man durchquert sämtliche Vegetationen. Achtung, auf dem gesamten Anstieg gibt es keine Tankstelle oder Bar. Also genügend zum trinken mit nehmen. (Ich spreche aus Erfahrung)
