Itinerary description
|
We expected a leisurely stroll, that's partly true :). The beginning is on a large path then we arrive at a crossroads: on our right a bridge and two paths, one left to the bridge, the other to the right. It's the right one we take to see a first waterfall. It goes up nicely, and you reach, after having crossed a small snake and two frogs fornication, to a pretty waterfall.
We then descend down the same path to the bridge, and continue our walk on the main path. We take pretty bridges, the water is clear, it is very pretty.
We then have the impression of arriving at what is the end of the road, but it is not so. You have to continue more or less straight, and follow the arrows "Vodopad" to a small house, then slightly to the left, climb into the forest to arrive at a waterfall that takes place in two parts. One well visible, and another below our position, less visible. From there the road seems to continue, but we do not know where we go down.
Back to this place that seemed to be the end of the road, two solutions: Retrace our steps as if to go or take the path that seems to make the loop while climbing on the opposite side to that of the footbridges.
It is this second option that we take and the path goes up quite hard on this side. The view emerges quite little to a clearing where we see an arrow that leads, it seems, to the ruins of a fortress 1200m further. We had not heard about it and the GPS track we were following did not fit, our legs are stiff so leave that aside for this time. Continuing along this path, we end up down the path that was to the left of the small bridge we were talking about at the beginning. The return to the car park is very easy.
