Hello! We did the short route of one kilometer in one hour, passing through the two stairs and we loved it. There were my parents who are seventy-five years old, my niece of 24 who was going for the third time, my daughter of 9 and me and also a weima pointer of barely one year who climbed the stairs with my niece like a champion. Totally recommended.

Hi, it's a shame I couldn't get past the first few stairs, since if you have pets they must be small and you can carry them in your arms. We had 3 large dogs and it was impossible because the stairs are too steep, the steps are very narrow and the gap between each step is very big. This experience was only for going up, because going down is not even a possibility for me.
Thank you
