A wonderful tour through a deserted landscape. You see lots of bee-eaters, kingfishers and hen harriers, water turtles and frogs. But the path is tough through bushes and rocks. The destination, the great waterfall, actually a real gorge, is magical. The way back up the mountain to the car park is a real challenge in 30 degree heat.

Very high vegetation along the river. Otherwise a dream. Everything bloomed! It's best to wear long pants in spring. Then the nettles won't bother you either.

after the first quarter of the trail is recorded outside the actual path...
