Itinerary description
Walk to a beautiful waterfall. In the beginning rather strenuous path uphill, but soon followed by a smooth path along a small irrigation canal. Same way back. Total time ± 2h30. At the waterfall further extensions uphill possible (crossing the river and following the path). Also possibility to descend to the riverbed (see this track). Crossing the river near the waterfall, using the cable, can be difficult in rainy or winter periods. A round trip is possible by descending to the camping (the section along the D27 road can be avoided if you dispose of 2 cars).

Delightful walk and fascinating to see the effort put into creating the small stone canals. The beautiful waterfall is a peaceful spot to enjoy the filtered summer sun.

Erg mooie wandeling. Redelijk pittig begin, maar de waterval is prachtig.
