Description
A small valley with a plateau in the Papenoo, we travel upstream for almost an hour on each side. A first stop at a natural tobbogan will take us back to childhood. Barely 5 minutes further on, a beautiful 13m waterfall awaits us. Then we pass it for more river walking, a small basin awaits us, and 5 min further on, another natural slide.
After 45 min we arrive at the cave, pause for lunch and return by the same route.
