A shaded walk among vegetation, rock formations, caves and historic paths. Ideal for exploring the forest interior.

I would not enter caves or take shortcuts off the trail to shorten the walk: damp ground and loose stones can make an apparently easy section slippery. Start early, wear closed shoes with good grip and bring water; phone coverage can fail in the forest, so download the route and tell someone your plan. If heavy rain or a storm is forecast, switch to an indoor city visit.

Do not treat difficulty, duration or conditions as guarantees for the day. Check the weather and local notices, choose a route suited to your experience and return before dark.
