Very beautiful gorge. Overall very easy to walk on. The hike is around 8km long as a circular tour. Including drinking breaks, it took us about 2.45 hours. Out of the gorge there is another steep climb on the way back. The descent at the end is sporty with great views of the gorge, the mountains and the coast/sea 🙂👍
