Itinerary description
From the visitor centre at Ala Archa National Park you start several walking trails. This one can be considered the medium level, it is shorter than the river one, but there is more climb.
Some sections can be slippery when wet or in winter. I did this walk in summer, with very nice clear day, but it started to rain when we were close to the end.
There are some rock sections and there is a small river crossing. You will see many people taking this walk with no water, no food and no proper equipment; it is considered a Sunday walk, but it is not.
The views are nearly always the same, as you are always in the same valley, but they are really impressive.
From the waterfall, you can go back to the main path and continue climbing up.
I'm marking it as easy as there are no may difficulties other than the climb. The path is very well marked and there are signs.
