Start your journey at the sign with the roof. Do not attempt to cross the streambed; it is too overgrown.

Beautiful hike, has some narrow bits closer to the waterfall which might be difficult for younger hikers.

You can't get to the waterfall by car. It's quite a hike along narrow paths and over the old water pipe.

You shouldn't go to the waterfall in flip-flops. Just like in the Alps, narrow, natural paths require sensible shoes.
