In the end we went up to the tower. We have never climbed so steep stairs ever before and once up we were really afraid to go down. There were no safety installation at this tower. Thank you for your kind mail. I guess that we are friends now! The last winter was extremely cold. Now in Summer the weather is nice. My English is terrible but i hope that you will give me a chance. The view of the valley, the lakes and the surrounding volcano mountains were breathtaking. We stayed there for nearly one hour and had a little snack. From there we continued to have lunch.
