Super beautiful car-free path. Nicer than following the road on the other side of the lake.

The restaurant reopens in 2025. Rather expensive.

Since the climb up here is VERY steep, you can fully enjoy the truly magnificent view. It's recommended to take a deep breath and get your heart rate down from 180 or more.
