Following Maps leads to an impassable road, with drainage crossings over 40 cm high. It is impossible to turn around and extremely slippery when reversing. Route not recommended.
Good spot and amazing views ! i parked to the side near a bush at the top and had no wind all night. Had a couple bikers come by early morning generally very quiet. However definitely lots of animal activity between 11pm - 3am was woken up a few times by growling, most likely wild boar, however there have been sightings of grey wolves in the area.
It's okay. Beware—lots of wild boar! Hunting-dog trails. Windy. Tourist hotspot. Keep the site clean! Many hikers, trail runners, and bikers. It is probably even busier in high season. Great in the off-season. The final stretch uphill is only suitable for off-road vehicles. The western approach is longer and narrower than the eastern one.
Nice spot with a lovely sea view. Good place to start mountain-bike rides, trail runs, motorcycle trips, and so on. Can also be quite windy ;)
Extraordinary view!!! The last 50 meters require low gear and may cause you to stall.
