Trail Overview
The path is very marked and it's hard to get lost. A key point to be aware of is that right at the beginning of the tour, there are several junctions (Y's), which can divert you from the route. In the same way, the wikiloc waypoints indicate all the junctions and the direction to which you have to go.
