A narrow marked path across from the parking-lot will lead you into the bushes. After a ten minute walk you will reach the hidden water basins with waterfalls mounding into it. Decades of waterflow have worn out a deep hollow in the rocks that goes by the mysterious name Devil's hole. Here you will be able to take a lovely refreshing swim or jump of the rocks.
