Great path full of roots and stones.
It's not without reason that there is a warning sign at the top that says "Caution technical route".

Funny round with quite a few hikers at the waterfall. Car parked in the verge.

December 28, 2023,🇫🇷 Cascade de Mérelle - Géradmer – Wasserfall Runde von Gérardmer

We did the tour in the rain. the rocks and stones are not too slippery. The ground between the stones is sometimes very deep. At one point I sunk up to my shins, luckily we were already halfway there and I was wearing gaiters.
I would recommend doing the loop the way we did as it is more fun going …
