A great tub for an (ice) bath. But only when there isn't extreme snow melt.

There is a first small cave right next to the waterfall. With a little climbing over the waterfall,. there is at least one other cave. A nice little trip. The waterfall itself is very beautiful, you can almost shower and bathe underneath it. 😉
