Officially, only the two viewpoints of the waterfalls are still accessible (03/24). The alternative route leads unimaginatively on a wide forest path through the forest - with no view of the gorge. In my opinion, the community simply lacks the money to maintain the paths and bridges in the gorge. Then a ban on passage is issued (...to protect nature) so that you are free from liability.
