What the map actually shows

The palace marker identifies the building, while the navigation point is an outside approach. OSM marks the footbridge gate as closed and locked. The track therefore does not cross that bridge towards the façade. This matters: a view of the palace from the walk’s endpoint is not guaranteed

Likani as a separate part of the day

The walk links churches in the western neighbourhoods with the palace-site approach. There are more changes in elevation and fewer spa promenades than in Central Park. The illustration depicts the palace architecture, not a verified view from public space. To see the building, check the actual visiting arrangements in advance
