I love this place.
There is a descent to the ford on each side of the river. On the north side it is quite overgrown, especially in summer. The descent itself is interesting enough to tempt you to speed up, but you have to be careful because you can end up in the river. Sometimes the road is flooded more, sometimes less. No matter how much, you can always get through the large trees. There is a path there. On the main stream there are usually logs thrown over which you can walk.
