Insider tips

Bring a windbreaker or warm layer, as the elevation causes temperatures to drop significantly compared to the lakeside.

Check the local weather forecast specifically for wind speeds, as the hilltop is exposed.

Plan your visit to coincide with the golden hour for optimal lighting on the island silhouettes.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk up from the lakeside without proper hiking gear, as the incline is steep and unpaved in sections.
