Hiking

The duck stone is only about 100m away from the hikers' car park. Nice, small indoor cave with seating area, good when it rains. The duck stone is also a climbing rock with various difficulties.

If it rains, you are in good hands here.. even without a shelter.. it is still a good 100 meters away
