Itinerary description

After being mislead by my GPS I ended up at a different hike start than planned and just followed what looked interesting on Komoot. The (on the mal) upper right half of the trail was quite overgrown and some parts require a bit of patience to find the track again. Wear long pants to avoid scratches. Lots of bees around there, too. One the upper part makes a turn south, nice place for a cold bath. Then it opens up a bit. I tried to go to a waterfall further south of the rest area, but ended up at a fence, did an hour yoga instead and headed back.
Relatively easy hike, majority on a wide dirt track, only the northern part along the irrigation channels is a bit more challenging and also the most beautiful part.

I tried to find the way here going up opposite of the waterfall but scrambled through the woods only to find the trail back on the other side.

Waypoint

Pass through and close again, there seems to be a cow in the area in between, so maybe it is a fence that it won’t wake far
