    After the first two lakes the trail gets really steep and towards mountain-top you also have to do some little rock-climbing. Not only on top but also on the whole hike the view is phantastic. From the top down we took a little longer (but not so steep) path down. We hiked up on a sunny warm July summer day. The trail is quickly raising though the woods and after the first climb you are already in in the height where no trees are growing anymore - so you will be 80% of the total hike completely exposed to the sunshine, winds and weather. Do not under-estimate the nearly 1.000 meters climb in that height compared with the exposure to the sun and carry enough water with you!
