A built trail, but a really cool one! The upper part is flowing and then there's a big gap jump, the lower part is narrow and winding in the stream bed but always varied.

A very flowing trail for Palmerian conditions, but it is divided into two parts by a gap jump of around 5 meters. The jump can also be bypassed on the right and after that it gets dark as the path winds through dense undergrowth to the exit. ✌🏻🚵🏻♂️🤘🏻
