Brick ruin in the upper part of the gorge. Already half overgrown. Looks a bit enchanted. Very beautiful.

Richtis Waterfall

A really nice tour through the canyon with a waterfall that varies in strength depending on the weather and season. The path is very varied. Good footwear, sure-footedness and having fun climbing are important 🙂.
