Shades of oak and pine shade sections of rugged paths, offering brief respites from the sun. Clearings reveal panoramas where the horizon opens wide, giving glimpses of nearby villages and fertile valleys.

For planning, consider starting early to avoid midday heat, especially in summer when temperatures climb sharply.
