Man kann auch einfach wandern und genießen. Schöne gemütliche Wanderung auf schönen Pfaden. Wir sind im Uhrzeigersinn gelaufen. Der Weg vom Wasserberghaus zurück ist ein breiter Schotterweg. Aber tolle Aussichten und schöne Orchideen. Die Einkehrmögichkeit, macht die Runde sehr attraktiv. Aber man sollte nicht zu spät dran sein. Nach uns wurde die Schlange am Wasserberghaus richtig lang und bei der Rückkehr war der Parkplatz voll
