Practical information
Make sure you have good shoes because the paths on some parts can have loose stones. Shoes which protect your ankles are preferred. In the summertime is necessary to wear a hat and to put on sunscreen for the sun.
NOTICE! Always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return.
Supplies
Enough water, something to eat and proper shoes since it’s a hard mountain route far away from any settlement.
