5/5
Very fun. The start has a steep fairly steep climb with a lot of rewarding points to take pictures of. Once you get to the top it's mostly flat with minor inclined bits. You rest and eat lunch by the lake, walk a bit and go down. On your way home you get to swim in the beach which you'll appreciate after that long hike.
