Jacob's Canyon

The Canyon is wonderful. You will feel very small once you enter. There is a part which you can see without hiking, so if you are curious enter.If you plan on going for a hike, prepare sturdy, touristic shoes, water and some snacks as the whole trails will take you 4 hours (with photos, some small rest stops and admiring view at the top).DO NOT COME HERE DURING THE BIGGEST HEAT! Even tho you have quite a lot of shadow, it could be dangerous.As reviews before said, some climbing is required. Definitely start in the canyon, as all climbing parts are easy that way.At the beginning, you need to use iron rope to climb the first part. This is maybe the worst climbing. Following are more easy, as during the hike your body is tilted towards the rocks, therefore the balance is easy. During the first half you will have red and yellow dots marking the routes. Also, you will see the small rock towers pointing to the right direction. If you will follow them, you won't get lost.After you finish the gorge part, on the top, you will find a lot of small bushes with thorns, so be prepared (at least mentally). From here it is just a regular hike to the top (very nice views of the sea, forest and surrounding islands.From the top, you will navigate yourself just by the rock piles. The descent is little bit difficult as it quite steep. But when you will walk slowly, it will be fine.Finally, the last part is on the actual road, so be careful on the cars.

Absolutely amazing place! Very easy to drive straight past but please look out for it if you are fit enough to climb over a few rocks to stand in this spectacle of the natural world. Professional trekkers can get all the way to the top (2km) but 'average Joe' like me can manage the first 100 or so metres. Standing in the bottom of this fantastic place and looking up is absolutely worth the effort. Many people have built their own little pyramids (myself included) and this is an added human touch.

Heftier 3h or so hike with some climbing. Bring some snack and enough water. On a not too warm day is well to do and you have lots of shade in the canyon. Beautiful wild nature and fantastic view from above before heading down can make it worth the effort. Combine the yellow, red & stone signs with a GPS app as well if possible to find your way. The first climb is easiest and safer on the left where a red dot sign is. Not where the wire is. Unless you like the extra challenge. You can end up on the road eventually where you can circle back to the car parking area.

Beautiful place out of the beaten path. You have a nearby parking place, just walk down the road and be careful to get into the canyon. You can go over the big boulders on the path to get deeper inside. Make sure to observe the immense layers of rock, colors and how the water has polished the lower rocks. There are also darker rock crystals inside some big white boulders.

Epic place where you can admire nature and the beauty of the geology. You can’t traverse the whole canyon if you are brave enough.
