The Devil's Gorges wind picturesquely and wildly through the sandstone mountains, offering a perfect little adventure for people of all ages. With narrow paths and cave crossings, the trail is both challenging and fascinating. Appropriate preparation is therefore recommended for every visitor.

The descent into the gorge is scenic but not particularly complicated, with several steps. However, the gorge itself can become a bit narrow.
