    Similar to previous route with exception of an additional detour to the waterfall where you could get some mountain water. Coming down we used the steeper slope on the last 1/10 of the hike. Not a good idea! Stay on the ...

    Mooie route met soms wel steile stukken, vooral afdaling naar de waterval.

    Challenging because of the up and down slopes. Easy trail to follow. The waterfall is small and sadly, graffiti on the rocks with paint spray. Nice vegetation, and peaceful hike.
