Worthwhile effort.

The fact that the hiking route is classified as moderate to difficult corresponds to the circumstances. But when I climbed the top of the Akramytis, I was rewarded with a spectacular view!

Lohnende Anstrengung.

Daß die Wanderstrecke als moderat bis schwierig eingestuft wird, entspricht den Gegebenheiten. Doch als ich den Berggipfel des Akramytis erklommen hatte, wurde ich mit einem spektakulären Ausblick belohnt!
