    Good hike away of the crowds in the canyon. Very steep at the first part. Clockwise direction absolutely recommended. Paths sometimes narrow and not mended. The begin of the climb at St Andreja (beside the WC) is closed by iron-gate. You have to be able to take this obstacle, but it is a good preparation for the climb ;-)
