The route is relatively accessible to non-4x4 campers, but you still must not be afraid of damaging a mechanical part on the journey, which is more than 16 km round trip. We started by driving at a maximum of 15 km/h, but it was still quite bumpy with a vehicle fitted with 16-inch tires. We turned around halfway up the steep slope, after 4.5 km, to avoid risking damage.
