There are several local stories as to how this huge crater was created. I like the story about the devil throwing dirt at the god Thor. There's also some scientific story about how springs created the hole and now it's this fantastic blend of hundreds of types of trees, wildlife and flora.
I ran into five wild bulls whilst I was there. I had been hiking for about 2 or 3 hours when I ran into this guy.
He was about 15 feet from me and there was no where to hide. He was very nice though and didn't seem to mind a few photos.
You wouldn't believe how many big time authors and poets have been inspired by this hike. Here's a few:
I felt it. It's a special place with clean crisp air. A view that's stunning yet visually manageable. Each turn provides a glimpse into a different set of leaves, sounds and smells. The crater teases you as you try to look down, often blocked by small trees, bushes or flowers. Every once in a while when you catch a glimpse, it's like a finishing chord in a major symphony, it just all comes together.
