The Komoot routes are not correct here. But steps up lead straight to the gorge. Be sure to use the side paths to get to the waterfall and rock formations. Then it is really beautiful here. From the top you can hike back down to the valley on a beautiful path. The steps are all fine. The same does not apply to the railings. So you need to be sure-footed.
