Here mountain roads and many hiking trails cross: a tourist access point with fantastic views and lots of magic at the stands. The hotel with the pool area is great, from which you can look directly into the caldera.

GC-811 Scenic Road

Highlight • Cycleway

Black gold - absolutely the finest new asphalt, a pleasant slope and almost no cars (taking the shorter and steeper main road) make this bypass a dream. Again and again …
