Definitely worth a visit!

We went for a walk on a Sunday in September around 6pm, and there weren't many people around at that time. The waterfall is magnificent, with a promontory where you can get close to the falls and dip your feet in the water. In the end, there was no need to follow the route, as the path to the waterfall is easy to follow and very well signposted. It took 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back. Definitely worth a visit.

A beautiful waterfall to discover at the end of this trail.
One downside: you have to take the same path to get back, which may make the site feel more crowded.

Originally from Pilat and a keen hiker, I had never seen such a spectacular waterfall in the region. That said, although the walk to the waterfall is short, the path is quite steep, especially before you reach the waterfall. The hike was very busy on this hot July afternoon, but there were still a few parking spaces available at the start.
