Superbly developed footbridge that runs through the entire gorge, when going up you can hold on to the wire rope and the glander, the footbridge is wet so use good equipment (also possible barefoot for experienced barefoot walkers) For dog owners, the path would be accessible with a calmer dog, if he is stormy and afraid of water noise it would be too dangerous for me to take him with me (my companion = pointer and Bernese sennen mixed) 9eur per person for the DSS experience over 2 hours was great :)

was a pleasant and relaxing walk for us. We were lucky enough not to meet many people so we were able to take enough time to examine everything. The path is very narrow, if many people walk at the same time it is more of a stressful process

Our accidental discovery. The entrance fee was 9 euros, but it was worth every cent. Everything was super organized and clearly explained on information boards in English. We recommend!
