Fantastik walk up and Down with the rewarded view of the sunrise! However 7,5km mountain walk on rocky slopes each way are not for everyone! Luckily for the unfair there are many many gamles that can take you! Becareful not to be tricked! Too tired for the monestary to really see it! Very very cold and windy - minus degrees in December!
