The path to the waterfall is quite challenging, but with good footwear and a certain amount of surefootedness, it's no problem. The nature here is pristine and beautiful.

Merelle Observatory

Highlight • Summit

A beautiful wooden tower with a narrow spiral staircase, it can accommodate a maximum of four people at a time. During the week and in bad weather, you won't have to wait long.
