PLEASE NOTE: Passing through this site in September 2023, access is now closed to the buron in good condition (sealed closure for hikers, surveillance camera, etc.). The only accessible buron has partially collapsed, the roof has collapsed as well as part of the walls, it simply provides shelter from the wind
