A note at the hut on one of the boards that the path to the Celtic ring fort is impassable (completely overgrown) would be helpful. It is annoying that the municipality, if it does not even take care of the maintenance or upkeep of the paths, does not even consider it necessary to inform the visitor that access is not possible.

Unfortunately, the path is already above the waterfall, which is actually in a steep area, otherwise one could see it better
