    This 40m high waterfall should definitely not be missed.

    Absolutely worth seeing! On the stones on the right side of the cave you can get in halfway dry. Rainproof clothing and sure-footedness and ideally a headlamp are recommended, then quite doable. Definitely an experience to stand in a cave with this huge waterfall.

    Hiking

    Anyone who visits the waterfalls there should generally have a rain cape with them and ideally a change of shoes if they also want to visit this waterfall.
    You wade through the shallow river or you are lucky and can get inside on the stones (still) dry. But in the end it doesn't matter because you get wet from the foothills while you are walking in, depending on the wind tunnel. In the end you are wet either way. Also keep this in mind when using your cell phone or camera!
