    Author’s recommendation

    Near the beginning of the route there is a building with restrooms and a tap for filling drinking water.

    The route is accessible for strollers up to the section where the stone stairs begin.

    Safety information

    The route is not suitable for those with a fear of heights.

    Children must be particularly supervised when climbing the ladders.

    Tips and suggestions

    It is recommended to check in advance that the site is open to visitors and not closed due to floods or other weather damage.

    Entrance to the national park requires a fee.

    Roadbook

    The route starts at the lower parking lot of the national park (when using a navigation app, make sure you arrive there). Park the car and start walking! Follow the trail markers and enjoy the unique views of the site. Upon reaching the stone stairs, decide whether to climb straight up or take a short detour near the springs and waterfall. A few meters after the stone stairs climb, the ladder path begins, which is one-way; here you must decide whether everyone returns to the start of the route or if just one person will move the vehicle to the upper parking lot of the park. If everyone returns, you can still drive to the upper parking lot and look over the site from above. The footpath access from the upper parking lot to the lower one is inconvenient and not recommended, so ensure the vehicle reaches the upper parking lot or alternatively skip the last section of the route, although the climb is very rewarding. Also, the balcony overlooking the park is very impressive (turn right after climbing the second ladder).
