It can be difficult to get here, so take care where you step as it is steep in places and after rain might be very challenging. But the single drop waterfall is worth seeing and hearing. In a secluded spot, there is something making one thinking of fairy tales, of the kind with fauns, dryads and indeed waterfalls, about this place. Taking photos here might be difficult, though, as there is little space to do so.

Hiking

Pretty boggy, uneven and slippery for the last 300m (even on a fine day) but well worth persevering as the waterfall is impressive
