It’s easy to lose direction near the old battlefield ridges, so the map’s trail markers and ferry dock icons keep you oriented. Watch for the narrow bridge near the main gate; it’s a classic bottleneck when the tram tour wraps up. Time it right, and you’ll hear the evening cannon salute echo through the trees.
