An interesting hike. Physically easy (although hiking boots are useful), but if you (as a woman) are traveling alone, it takes courage to walk the path to the end (waterfall). It becomes increasingly narrow, overgrown and darker. Not a soul in sight... Unfortunately I didn't dare to go the last part.
