Beautiful climb with views over different parts of the island. Especially popular with tourists is the view of the lake before you reach the top.

Mooie klim met uitzichten over verschillende delen van het eiland. Vooral het uitzicht op het meer voordat je bij de top bent is erg geliefd bij toeristen.
