    Hiking

    Beautiful hiking trails. Warning: This difficult trail is only for experienced hikers. You'll need to do a lot of climbing and be free from vertigo. Please wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water. Otherwise, enjoy the wonderful nature.

    Hiking

    Through the trees you can see the Whirlpool Rapids, also known as the Niagara Whirlpool. The Niagara River turns at a right angle here, creating the whirlpool. From the bank you can see the boats carrying tourists speeding over the rapids. On the other side of the bank you can see the USA, the river forms the natural border.
