The expert's opinion
To successfully complete the 10 steps , it is necessary to be in good physical condition .
Some sections of the trail consist of loose stones, and other passages can be slippery. Although most of the path is wide, some sections are quite exposed and require caution. The use of hiking poles is strongly recommended.
