You can see the waterfall from various viewing platforms - from very far away to see the entirety of the waterfall, right up to where the mighty mass of water passes by.

Impressive waterfall, especially because you can step right to the edge and in the middle of it, that you almost forget the other tourists around. Be careful, as the stones are also washed out by the spray, they can be very slippery.

You should have seen the biggest waterfall in Europe. Also the boards and the history are wonderfully described.
