This place feels like a true wonderland—no buildings or signs of civilization in sight except for one solitary mountain hut. The sunrise and sunset views are spectacular, transforming the entire landscape. One tip: be mindful that the bath here closes early, around 17:00, so it’s best to arrive with plenty of time to unwind before the evening.
