Fantastic walk/hike. Great views and perhaps the finest constructed wood walkway and stair system I’ve ever seen!

This place is amazing, absolutely spectacular. There is a small restaurant next to the car park. You can find everything you need there. Excellent food and very helpful staff. The trail is steep, long and challenging. Especially if you're doing it in 30°C. Tho well worth it. The bridge has to be booked separately. Otherwise, the trail up to the bridge is free if you want to carry on, it costs 4euros per person. Well worth it tho.

This trail was beautiful but absolutely terrifying, if you do not like heights, I do not recommend. The pathway is mostly stairs, hanging off the cliff, high above the river. Not an easy stroll along the river.

Phenomenal views, even during rainy weather! The main drag of the trail - including the suspension bridges - is ticketed requiring purchase online. Well worth the experience. Can make a full day out of the hike and surrounding local cafes. Highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful walkway with a lovely river beach halfway through. Takes around 2-2.5 hours in total and is quite easy, unless you decide to hike up to the bridge, which will take around 25 minutes and is a bit more challenging due to the steps.
