Roadbook
From the summit, descend on the same route back to the gravel road and turn left to follow a valley downhill and cross a stream bed further down. Along stone cairns, you finally reach the edge of the cliff coast, where an iron ladder leads down about 8 meters over a vertical rock wall. Below, follow a clear path to the right that leads over several cliffs under the rocks and after a short climbing section finally turns left and leads through loose sand down to the beach, which is also suitable for bathing.
For the return journey, follow the same route as on the way out.
