i haven’t been up this hill in the longest time – the last visit was perhaps on a school excursion in secondary school – and I think i’ve satisfied my curiosity about climbing this hill for the rest of my life.
the climb started well enough, with a really steep slope – the steepest you’ll encounter – and it was indeed slightly scary going downhill on the way back:
we were the youngest people at the nature reserve – there was this couple that was walking at a pretty fast pace:
most of the trails go along the same route, but when we reached the second rest stop, the path diverged towards a quarry. we went down that trail, hoping to catch a glimpse of some granite, but saw only this:
See all the vegetation behind the sign below? That was basically whatever that was between us and a view of the quarry. In short, we saw nothing of the quarry!
Some nice things were spotted along the way, like super small fungi and pinkish lingzhi-like ones:
as well as a steep, steep climbing path, a cool tree and nice roots:
unfortunately the summit was a huge, huge letdown, as this was basically all there was:
didn’t help that there were those power towers that spoil the view. still, one has to smile for the camera, but i’m not going up that hill again in a long long while i think!
