Hiking

In itself, a weir is nothing special in a stream, especially since the difference in elevation is only a few centimeters. But here, it's not just a ford for crossing the stream, but also a dramatic change in the "stream's appearance." Above the weir, it's a lovely stream; behind it, it suddenly looks like the Alps: filled with large stones and basalt boulders, the wide watercourse carves small channels through the masses of rock and tree debris. It looks as if a raging river is flowing into the valley here.
