Here is the upper entrance.

WOOOW!!!
Just super beautiful 💖😍😍😍
You can't even get the beauty of this tour on the photos.
At the end of the tour it's a bit through muddy mud and small creek beds, but hey, that's really my thing anyway 😉😂😂

The name does the path justice. It winds its way through the forest on a narrow path and has something almost mystical about it. A wonderful path to leave everyday life behind and unwind
