June 11, 2023,Horn Bridge – Waterfall Runde von Bryansford

Beautiful tour through a beautiful, partly very old forest. There are old sequoias, oaks and beeches as well as eucalyptus trees. The paths are well maintained and easy to walk. It smells wonderfully of the forest and you are rewarded with a great view of the Morne Mountains, where you can also see part of the Morne Wall.
