The walk up the east side of the hill in Pekrin Park is a long walk. There are places where the path is very steep, but there are interesting places along the way.

On top of the hill are an observatory, a mirror maze, concessions shops, food shops, gardens, part of the old wall and other interesting places.

Somewhere up on the hill there has to be a spring. The water feeds several small ponds as it goes down the hill.
