Highlight • Waterfall

Crossing the waterfall can be quite tricky. So be careful, it is quite slippery because of the mud there

Wear good shoes. I was here in May 16th. And there is still a lot of snow and the snow that has melted is very muddy. A fantastic view

The hike starts just above town. The hike itself is not challenging until the incline at the end - roughly the last kilometer. Adding to that, the wind can really pick up. However, it is a nice hike and the view from the top is amazing.
