Lovely place for a short hike. It is a sacred mountain and folklore has it that you will be granted three wishes if you completed the hike without looking back, and without talking.

We got lost for a little bit as the footpath was covered in snow and ice, but the loveliest dog showed us the way. We played fetch with it and it is a very good boy. Would recommend this hike just so the dog...

La vista dalla cima da sola stramerita le 400 kr di ingresso che qui equivale al costo di un caffé. C'è una visuale a 360° sul territorio circostante, oltre ad essere una collina sacra. Solo i turisti mordi e fuggi incapaci di apprezzare la cultura e la storia locale e di sostenere con il costo di un caffé chi la mantiene viva e qui ci vive tutto l'anno, si lamenta del prezzo. D'altronde creare e mantenere gli scalini per salire e scendere e la struttura per raccontare la storia di questo posto ha un costo. Se volete tutto gratis andate altrove.
