"As part of the written information about the guided tour it should be noticed that the walk is quite demanding due to its hills and many staircases and therefor not suitable for elderly and unfit people. It was also difficult to find the meeting point of the tour high up in the old town with no street signs. It would have been much easier if the walk had started where it now finished, e.g somewhere along the lake."
