The winding mountain road runs alongside bottomless cliffs, with only mist slowly rising from the valley floor 💥Pitfall prevention guide 1. The wind by the lake is very strong! Wear a jacket even in summer 2. The ancient forest is fenced off and cannot be entered; use a telephoto lens for better shots 3.
