"Okay waterfall right along the street. Not super spectacular but when driving by its worth a 5 minute stop to take a picture. Plenty of free parking nearby."
Koen Zomers
"Sadly, although the area in the valley is beautiful, droughts and invasive insects made the waterfall a trickle, and many of the trees are dead or dying so be prepared to be in the sun. Trails markers are not very good, many people had difficulties finding the waterfall."
Raul Veres-Răduț (Red)
"Really pretty waterfall, possibility to have a slightly challenging walk to the top of the waterfall, by a steep muddy/rocky (it'd been raining all day when we got there) path"
