Access is apparently on private property and is secured with a gate and barbed wire. There is no sign saying "no entry" or "private property". The fence is pushed down in one place so that you can simply climb over it. This is of course at your own risk ;-)

Relatively easy to reach waterfall with a large swimming pool. Only the last 100m go down a bit over larger stones and gravel. In May (2024) the waterfall no longer has much water. But swimming would definitely have been possible……… the swimming pool still has a lot of water. I would recommend a visit at midday/afternoon, as the waterfall faces south. So unfortunately we were a bit early (11 a.m.) and the waterfall was still in the shade. Parking is possible directly on the street, but there is no designated parking lot. Access is on private property and is secured with a gate and barbed wire. There is no sign saying "no entry" or "private property". The fence is pushed down in one place, so you can just climb over. If you are nearby, you can definitely stop by. But the waterfall is not a must……….
