Beautiful gorge, didn't see the path suggested by Komoot... it's wild through the bushes, but it's worth it!
But please exercise caution.. this is really going downhill... and you're walking on fluffy ground

Really very nice here, also quite noisy. It had rained extremely the day before, which is probably the reason for the discolouration of the water, since the mountain and the surrounding area have been washed clean and dust and mud into the creek. On the other hand, the stream almost sounded and was portrayed as a raging river. Really great👍🏻
