    Nach einer 3-stündigen Autofahrt zum Berg hatten wir gerade mal 25 Minuten Zeit, uns dort aufzuhalten. Aufgrund Zeitdruck konnten wir nicht bis zur Aussichtsspitze gehen, ein Eindruck von der Landschaft, dem Berg war gar nicht möglich. Guide kommunizierte so, dass dies nur ein Fotostop wäre, so dachten wir, es geht noch weiter hoch, dabei fuhren wir wieder zurück . Dieser Ausflug ist so nicht empfehlenswert.
