O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Skalnat otoček se dviga iz čiste alpske vode z osamljeno kamnito ruševino čajnice in nekaj vetra skrčenimi borovci, tako da se vsak pristop zdi kot stopiti v razglednico. Mirni dnevi razkrijejo kremenčke ob plitvem robu, številni kajakaši pa lahko v približno 10 do 20 minutah naredijo celoten krog.

Poudarki: Na vrhu stoji kompaktna kamnita "čajnica" z razpokanim kaminom in tremi ozkimi okni, ki uokvirjajo smaragdno vodo kot starinski slikovni okvirji. Pustolovski kajakaši pogosto izvajajo tih ritual, ko po približno 15-minutnem prečkanju pustijo en sam borov storž ali kovanec na najvišji polici, ta majhno dejanje pa ustvari čutno povezavo med obiskovalci in odmevajočim kamnom.

Notranji nasveti

Wear layers and windproof outerwear, wind can be strong on open water and on the island.
Land on the flatter western shoreline, avoid the steep rock faces and climb carefully around the teahouse ruins for the best photos.
Aim for weekday mornings to beat most tour boat traffic and get calmer water for paddling.
Bring plenty of water, sun protection, and a small trash bag, leave no trace and pack out everything you bring.
