We parked at one of the 7 parking places just outside of Malbun. It’s a wide and easy path leading away from the village with great views of Malbun and the mountains beyond.

As we headed up to Galinakopf, the path gets a little steeper, but it’s never difficult. There are some lovely views across the rugged mountains.
