It was truly a decent visit. The lunch was good and all the activities were the perfection of our trip. We were a bit doubtful at the beginning, but we weren’t disappointed. Selge was pleasant indeed and the Adler Canyon was frightening and beautiful at he same time!
We were picked up at the hotel at the agreed time and after a few hotels we drove to the mountains, where we changed trains and met our amazing guide. The ride is generally nice and easy. On a stop in the countryside we met the local mountain women selling their own woolen knitwear at very modest prices without being overbearing. As you stop at the Roman Theater, look out for the women, who are particularly troublesome. The guide warns against this. After all was a great experience, definitely worth it!
