The waterfall is impressive even when it's carrying little water. Unfortunately, it can only be seen from the small path leading down from the road. The area at the base of the waterfall is private and extensively fenced. I found that a shame.

The spring is simply gigantic and there aren't too many tourists - at least when we were there.
