Stunning waterfall and definitely worth the trip. Walk from the car park to the waterfall is about 15-20 minutes for someone in good condition, though the 200m elevation change can extend this time. Due to circumstances we only had flip flops on which I cannot recommend... it is best to have good shoes on for going down and up to the waterfall and flip flops or water shoes to feel the cold water at the waterfall and walk through the water if you want. The rocky terrain requires proper footwear for safety.

Beautiful waterfall with an impressive 72-meter drop that's absolutely worth visiting. The walk from the parking area takes about 20-25 minutes through scenic terrain, covering the 2.5km distance with a 200m elevation change that provides a moderate workout. The trail can be challenging in places, so proper hiking shoes are essential for this easy-rated but rewarding hike. Once you reach the waterfall, the stunning views and refreshing mist make every step worthwhile! Plan about 1h30 total for the complete experience.

A waterfall an impressive 72 meters high blew my mind away with its beauty. The 20 to 25 minutes trekking from the parking lot to this beautiful waterfall gave me experience and a nice moment. All you need are a pair of good shoes for trekking and water. A smart thing to do would be to capture a lot of photos. Having a picnic next to the river, listening to the water running, is definitely relaxing and not a bad idea. After a picnic you can walk to the waterfall that isn't far away. The 200m elevation gain makes it a rewarding hike for most fitness levels.
