Additional information

This trail is one of the park's most popular. It starts at the interpretation center and stretches right down to the river. Made of wood, its surface can be slippery when wet. What's more, there are no railings or ledges on the trail, which is raised off the ground. So you have to be careful not to fall off the path. Then there are the footbridges, which have an incline over a few meters (both up and down). Most of these short inclines are 6%, but one is 10.5%. A covered observation point is located at the river's edge.

 Accessible picnic table

Additional information

Picnic tables are available for wheelchair users. However, these tables are located on grass surfaces.
