Hiking

This elaborate heather area turns a beautiful purple at the end of the summer. But the views here are also beautiful in the other seasons.

Hiking

The indicated routes are very well signposted from the visitor center. Sunday mornings it is also not so full (opening from 10:00 clock).

Hiking

When the heather is in bloom, this is a fantastic area with many beautiful photo opportunities. But you can hike at any time of year. The paths are mostly sandy and ideal for walking barefoot, although, surprisingly, no one I met was doing so.
