Magnificent place! The water is clear but cold! Ideal for relaxing at the end of the canyon or for spending a quiet day by the river.

Incredible abandoned village in the mountains

A beautiful waterfall. The experience is worth it: there are picnic tables and restaurants nearby. Access to the "area" costs €3 as of July 2025. With this ticket, you have access to the entire riverbank. It's recommended to wear a swimsuit, since to access the area, you have to cross the (very cold) river. There are restrooms that can be used as changing rooms before crossing the river. Once you've crossed, you can settle down wherever you like and take a dip. At the first corner of the river, you can jump from a safe rock. A place for teenagers. You can go upstream as far as you want.

From up here, you have a good view of the canyon. However, you can't go in without the right equipment and an experienced guide on canyoning tours.
