This 4-5 hour journey is designed for experienced hikers without vertigo, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, historical insight, and thrilling exploration. It's a chance to connect with the island's rugged heart and its vital water heritage, feeling the cool air of the galleries as you step back in time.
