No drinking water, but still a shady spot and a good opportunity to rest.

Definitely worth a visit. It would be a shame not to have seen it.

The waterfall is impressive even when it's carrying little water. Unfortunately, it can only be seen from the small path leading down from the road. The area at the base of the waterfall is private and extensively fenced. I found that a shame.

Interesting section through the tunnel, always beautiful.

The area around the waterfall is cordoned off, so that it is actually inaccessible and can only be seen from afar. The "standing seats" that have been set up are friendly, but do not really add value to the barbed wire. You can get closer to the waterfall from above, but you should do this with caution!!
