About the trip

The path to the waterfall leads along an asphalt road and forest trail, with slippery stones in places, so caution is needed.

Personal tip from us

Visit the waterfall ideally in the morning when there are fewer people and the sun beautifully shines through the forest.

Tips

  • Most beautiful light in the morning; after rain the waterfall has greater flow.
  • Bring waterproof footwear – stones can be slippery.
  • In winter the waterfall is frozen and very photogenic.
  • Ideal for family trips and photography.

Safety

  • ⚠️ Very slippery in winter – hold onto railings, do not climb over.
  • ⚠️ Increased water level after rain – do not enter the riverbed.
  • ⚠️ Stay on marked trails.
  • ⚠️ Children under parental supervision.
