Slowly go up from the park, the closer to the top of Arthur's throne, the more gravel road, the more difficult it is to go up, if you encounter strong winds, you need to pay attention to safety, after boarding, overlooking the surrounding scenery, great!
Beautiful place. It’s definitely worth it, if you can you should hike to the top, otherwise enjoy the panorama and the lakes.
The Knights of the Table is the legendary knights of King Arthur. King Arthur is the legendary British hero, the legendary British king of the Middle Ages, the head of the Knights of the Round Table. He is the founder of the Knights of the Round Table, with many legends. Arthur's Queen Ginavy's father had large round tables for the knights' gathering under his arm, and at the time of marriage Arthur received tables and warriors from his father-in-law, when the round table knights became a group of knights under Arthur. They come from different countries and even have different faiths. The meaning of the round table is "equality" and "unity," and legend has it that King Arthur's knights reached 150 at most. The knights rushed to the battlefield and talked about domestic affairs at the round table. Although they may form factions because of their political or political differences, only at the round table are there no differences in status and no distinction between princes and princes, and everyone is allowed to speak freely. But in fact, the round table is not completely equal, the knight Percy Farr who went to find the Holy Grail initially sat with the lower knight, and was later led to the seat next to the "dangerous seat", which later gave Galahad, the son of Lancelot, the purest knight, He finally found the Holy Grail.
Everyone came to Arthur's throne to climb the mountain. In the morning, to see the sunrise, and at night, to see the sunset. This is an dead volcano. There are roads to the mountain. The road in the south of the mountain is best to go. It is all grassland. The road in the north and west of the mountain is relatively similar to the domestic one. They are all stone steps. It's half an hour to the top.
