A mountain lake lies hidden in one of the surrounding mountain ranges, created by the construction of a dam in the 1950s.

 

The lake can only be reached via a remote, narrow mountain road, at the end of which a hiking trail leads to a pier. A ferry is operated from here, which takes you to the actual hiking trail.

 

Suddenly you find yourself in a landscape whose atmosphere is almost magical and evokes associations with the “Lord of the Rings” films for many.

 

The path is pristine, without barriers; you feel connected to nature and the flowing water. There are few reminders of human influence here, a place made for poets.

 

After about an hour, you reach your destination: the hidden three-tiered waterfall. The most diverse states that water can take on can be seen here without interruption. Gently flowing, noisily crashing, it slowly but steadily erodes the rock itself.

 

Here, at the turning point of the hike, you can linger and recharge your batteries or simply listen to the water.

 

Back at the starting point, we look into slightly exhausted but satisfied faces. Many people haven’t ever experienced a landscape like this, and some describe the excursion as an absolute insider tip and highlight of their trip.

 

And you? Will you give the adventurous hiking trail and the hidden waterfall a chance?
