This is one beautiful climb. Not that hard initially, but due to its duration and constant climbing, the last part can be painful, be prepared and don't overpace yourself. If you're there for views, this one is an absolute must! If you're there for the challenge, I would recommend, just keep in mind there's only 1 way in and out. So you'll have to backtrack.... read more

A very nice valley. Need to turn around at the end, but also nice on the way back/down.

It is a climb that starts quietly but becomes meanly steep towards the end. Unique are the houses carved into the rock walls. The view at the top is quite nice.

Het is een klim die rustig begint maar naar het einde toe nog gemeen steil wordt. Uniek zijn de in de rotswanden uitgehouwen huizen. Het uitzicht boven is best aardig.
