This begins with a 15 m long bridge across the river to the right (when ascending) canyon wall. Traverse, with many (somewhat off-putting) ups and downs deeper into the gorge. A bridge belonging to the dam is passed beneath. Later, continue around a corner (exposed) and down into a sort of cove which has a difficult section leading back out- luckily there are many wooden steps. Pass beneath an old arch shaped bridge and finally climb a ladder (ca. 1730 m) up onto this bridge and reach the hiking trail.
