A beautiful natural attraction, with walkways accessible to wheelchairs. A short hike, not for hardcore hikers, but definitely worth stopping at.Translating
Magnificent and very well-equipped site, with many fireplaces for barbecues. Beautiful walking trails. It attracts many visitors, so it may be somewhat lively in the evening, especially in the high season, as many people come for picnics.Translating
Nice place. There is currently some renovation work, and the morning started with construction noise. The renovation will be finished at the end of May. Very beautiful place.Translating
Beautiful area! But we found the overnight stay somewhat unsettling because it is right beside a fairly busy road.Translating
Splendid natural setting, although very touristy. Beautiful paths along the rapids, with a barbecue area, dry toilets and a small kiosk. We will spend the night here, since the parking area is under video surveillance and illuminated.Translating
Beautiful parking area cleared of snow in winter, lovely walks nearby, and barbecues available along the paths.Translating
Beautiful and somewhat quiet place. Locals come here to bbq. There is some firewood. Toilets are not taken care at winter, but at summer they are ok.
The surrounding is five stars! So beautiful. A lot of fire places and a shed full of wood. Many toilets, but a lot of people are visiting the place so the toilets are not that always so nice... Easy to park in a big parking space and easy to leave and come back if you like to visit the grocery shop or buy a pizza (5km) Some noice during the night but still ok.
Right beside the rapids! The area is under video surveillance. Paved and level.Translating
Parking area cleared of snow in winter, with a bin, toilet, barbecue facilities, and beautiful walks, as well as skiing. Very busy on weekends, and the parking area is lit at night.Translating
Great overnight stay. Dry toilet and fire pit, plus a café nearby. All this in beautiful surroundings. We will be back.Translating
Ideal for an excursion to the rapids. In the high season, however, there is certainly not enough space. It is likely to be especially difficult for larger motorhomes.Translating
