Tips from the Community
This beautiful and easy hike is perfect for escaping everyday life and enjoying nature to the fullest. The route doesn't have too much elevation gain, making it ideal for less experienced hikers or a relaxed excursion. Sturdy footwear is recommended, however, as several sections lead over unpaved paths. A special highlight: Along the way, you'll pass a beautiful beach, perfect for a swim or simply relaxing. Ideal for anyone looking to combine relaxation, exercise, and a bit of sea air. Tip: Don't forget your swimsuit!

Great little beach secluded and great for swimming. You can only access this by walking so is quieter than other beaches. Great for a mid run swim!
