Beautiful excursion in the woods with the river and waterfalls alongside. The part recorded by me is quite demanding due to ascents and descents

This route is pleasant in any season, the difference in height is minimal and is therefore practicable by everyone. Very suitable for those who have a dog especially if they love water!

Great summer classic, the tour of the 5 waterfalls (+1) is always an excellent excursion. Completely in the shade we walk along a comfortable and wide path from which the descents to the waterfalls depart where it is possible to bathe in the freezing water. The Great Beech shows us the next end of the climb and the beginning of …

A beautiful route that includes 5 beautiful waterfalls. Always in the middle of the woods. The beauty of the falls in my opinion is growing, up to the last one which is spectacular! I recommend not doing the route in summer because there is less water, but it's still worth it!

A fantastically beautiful round. We shortened the tour after the fifth waterfall (Cascadora), because there was obviously nothing special to see on the way and we had a long arrival and departure. The altitude meters are distributed very pleasantly over the route. The ascents and descents to the waterfalls are not quite as well managed and visible in Komoot. The …
