Unfortunately, the waterfall had no water, so it wasn't a highlight.

Walked through the forest to the waterfall. There is a river next to it that is easy to walk along to the waterfall. Walked the last part along the road on the way back. Not a good plan, there was a lot of traffic on the road.

In June 2022, while hiking around the Trusetal Waterfall, @Viajera brought back a memory from the times when the border was opened in 1990.
At the time of my visit, the waterfall had no water, the paths were not well prepared and so I wanted to see the changes shown by the photos of Viajera.
