After about 40 minutes of hiking, reach the balcony of the mountain and observe the expansive, rolling forest and hills stretching out before you.

My tour guide Irena Troka was amazing and cared for and looked after all of us She also made sure no one went missing or needed a break Driver was great and to make us more comfortable in 37 degree weather he drove us a bit closer to the top so we’d not get tired from high temperature Overall great day and learnt great facts from tour guide Irena Her English was also great and she is very organized and informed

Driver and guide were fine. Being picked up at 10am is too late because you will be hiking in the worst heat/sun! I recommend leaving early in the morning.
