Environment

Shared terrain with mountain bike trails; stay alert for riders on crossing points.

The uphill hiking track is a dirt path through pine trees; not recommended during rain as it becomes very muddy.

Exposed sections near the summit offer panoramic city views but little shade.

Our Story

We heard there’s a free cable car coming down from the summit, so we went. The uphill path doesn’t have much scenery - it’s mainly dirt trails for mountain biking, which would be difficult in the rain. The real views are all at the top. Coming down, besides the free cable car, you can also pay to zipline down.
