This was the hiking tour I enjoyed the most. Both the atmosphere and the guides made it interesting and fun. During the hike the guides often checked on the participants and asked whether we were okay. They were fun and cheerful. Since I left with such good impressions, I'll join the Camp tour in October, God willing 💚
