Travel Information

Difficult to get. You need a local, cause there are no parking slots. Near to the roads are living some farmers, where you maybe can park, if the local knows the family or can speak their language for asking them kindly. The hike is challenging with many kilometers. You need to have good conditions, enough water and be fit in high altitude.
