Traveler reviews
Gantulga Otgonbat
★★★★★a year agoNice viewpoint to the south. There are few benches with tables. I hiked as long as I could today in this mountain. Trails are mostly with a lots of stones, so don't recommend for hiking with small children. From here you can go through long circle trail (blue sign) through Lion rock and Guckler Karoly tower or you go shorter trail by following green sign.
