It's quite an adventure to get there, but it's definitely worth it. It's perhaps a good thing there's no path leading there. This way, this almost mystical place doesn't get overrun.

Be sure to make a detour here. A truly mystical place with mosses, ferns, lichens and a small waterfall.

very hidden waterfall. You have to leave the path to the right and follow the narrow path for a short time. Otherwise you don't see him.
