Beautiful place to rest and enjoy the view! If there are already many people there, you can simply walk a bit further and find many other viewpoints.

Mega view, even on the ascent! The path up is nicely rocky and at the top there is plenty of space to rest, so it doesn't feel overcrowded even on weekends with good weather.

Up here, there are at least two bunkers (larger than one room) that can be explored. It's best to bring a good flashlight and wear proper footwear. There's sometimes a bit of water. Access is also possible for people of average build.
