Walk to Masari Mountain Chapel

The mountain with the chapel on it

A walk to the chapel on the summit of the mountain to the immediate north east of Masari

This is not a clamber up the sides of a scrub and rocky mountain, but follows a track that curves around the mountain which looms behind Masari village. At the summit is a small chapel where a deserved rest can be taken before returning along the same route. Do not be taken in that this is easy. With little in the way of shade, this is a tough climb in the heat. Take plenty of water and do not attempt in the heat of summer.

There is an information board in Heraki that details the history and archaeology of the area.
