A very nice hike with moderate climbs and a few steep sections. Walk to the top and back should take around 2-3 hours, bring sturdy shoes and snacks! The track to the lake was closed when we visited

(Translated by Google) About 80% of the way is in the forest, between the very tall vegetation you can occasionally catch a glimpse of the volcanic activity in the form of steam coming out of holes in the ground. The actual view of the volcanic lake is blocked. If you don't have much time, the track is not worth it. You should rather look for other things in the area. Although it didn't rain for a few days, the path was very muddy in some sections. (Original) Ca 80% des Weges sind im Wald, zwischen der sehr hoch wachsenden Vegetation kann man ab und zu einen Blick auf die vulkanischen Aktivitten in Form von Dampf der aus Lchern im Boden kommt erhaschen. Der eigentliche Ausblick zum Vulkansee ist gesperrt. Wenn man wenig Zeit mitbringt ist der Track nicht lohnenswert. Man sollte sich eher nach anderen Dingen in der Umgebung umsehen. Trotzdem es einige Tage nicht geregnet hat war der Weg an einigen Abschnitten sehr matschig.

Great little walk up the hill and an awesome view from the top as well.
