Been here?
A large parking area with plenty of space, beautiful views and access to nearby walking routes. In December it was open without a height barrier or overnight restrictions, while the original information states that parking is prohibited from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Seasonal access and payment conditions therefore vary. Public toilets above the parking area may be closed.

Open outside the season in December. No height barrier or restrictions on staying overnight. However, the toilets were closed.
Seasonally, the access restriction barriers have been removed. Beautiful place with a lovely view. A good starting point for the hike along the river. Remember to bring a flashlight for the tunnels.
Wonderful viewpoint, accessible even for people with limited mobility after a 500–700 m walk. Parking was free on October 1.
The parking area is far too expensive. We wanted to hike for six hours, which would have cost €22. The only positive point is that there is a very clean public toilet above the parking area.
Off-season: free, very clean, very quiet, and with a beautiful view. Better than the Samson parking area 1.5 km away, which is closer to the trailheads but more sloped and shaded, making it colder.
Easy-to-access parking area, but very expensive… The lower parking area was marked as closed, so we came here. However, once we arrived below, we noticed several vacant spaces on the side of the road. We regretted not going there.
Since June 15, the barrier has been in operation. In my view, this means the place is no longer suitable as a hiking car park. Very expensive! We moved to the Samson parking area. According to the sign, the 7 m length limit applies only to buses. We got in easily with our 7.5 m vehicle.
Good, large parking area, currently without a barrier, signs, prohibitions, or anything similar. There is no parking meter either, presumably because it is the off-season. It is not secluded or particularly beautiful, and there are many cars. Nevertheless, there was still enough space because it was off-season.
Convenient parking area, but a little cramped when it fills up. Currently free.
