Rate route!

Sunday, May 18, 2025 by Marina MahuWe did the hike on Saturday, May 17, 2025 but it was very disappointing much too much concrete almost all of the hike , only the museum battle of the silver helmets was a windfall , but price was a bit too expensive for what it was , and also a lot of signage of the hike was missing or could not be read anymore ! Conclusion not recommended
