Hiking

The Grunas-kloof forms a narrow limestone passage through which the river cuts with force. Between the rock walls, the water plunges in a series of small waterfalls, the highest of which — the Grunas waterfall — drops over 25 meters. The gorge is located at an altitude of about 900 m, surrounded by dense beech forests and steep mountain flanks. The path to it follows old shepherd routes and offers ever-new views of the blue-green water winding through the rocks.

The water is so clear! Swimming is only for the hardiest of people, it is very cold.
