The gorge gets narrower and you scramble over rocks and stones, some of which have been washed smooth - a touch of adventure sets in. The most difficult and narrow passage of the gorge is equipped with a wooden ramp and a bridge, making it relatively easy to pass. Be careful when descending, the rocks can be very slippery.
