The tour is very dangerous in rain and wet conditions. The paths and stairs are made of very slippery stone and tree roots.

This is really a great tour. But I don't think it's "moderately difficult". I would classify it as difficult. Even though it's only about 10 kilometers, you really shouldn't underestimate it. But it's really recommendable
