Lovely walk, stunning views. Walk up to the lake is beautiful, however if you don鈥檛 like heights end the walk here. The walk around the top is amazing however has very very very steep drops on one side and the path goes close to the edge most of the way, although you can walk further away if wante. My wife who doesn鈥檛 mind heights thought it to be spectacular with 360 views from the top
