A beautiful mountain park! : This beautiful mountain park has a lot of activities to enjoy with the whole family. We loved our ride on the cable car and also enjoyed biking around the place. This park has the world's largest piece of exposed granite and makes you feel closer to nature. Do check if the place is open before you decide to visit.
