    Hiking

    The last part of the route is certainly not easy and only suitable for experienced climbers.

    Hiking

    The route marking of T1 is wildly misleading (!) The paths up and down the Gorge are a mix between T1, T2, T3 and sometimes just about T4. That's in fine weather. Take care of each other and help the others. There were quite a number of small kids of age 3 to 8 today

    Hiking

    Left bank accessible to all

    Right bank accessible but difficult, especially since we wanted to take a "shortcut" and went through the cave tunnel. It's doable, of course, but it was very difficult to climb steeply, sometimes with metal bars to hold onto, thankfully. But we were happy to get back to our car; we'd walked almost 8 km!
    You need to be well-equipped with shoes!!
