Here the passage is so narrow that next to the river there is space for the railway line, the road and the cycle path.
Before the area was developed, there was probably only space for the river and, when the water was low, a path through the gorge.
When the railway was built, massive amounts of rock had to be blasted away, and when the road was expanded, a large amount of rock had to be removed, which can be clearly seen on the opposite slope.
The old road is now apparently the cycle path.
There is also a small power station in the river narrows.
