Campsite not accessible by car, no network connection, no water point.
Well made up gravel track through the forest. We came with a 7m coach built vehicle with no problems. Several spaces to park next to the river, each side of the track before crossing the bridge. Quiet and a fab 1h30 loop walk through beautiful forest on the doorstep.
Drove up the most undriveable road to get to where it says on the map - lucky we didn’t get stuck or topple. 30 mins later, and gone beyond the marker, and nothing and no one around. No car park in sight. Other comments mention a bridge and a river which we believe is 30 min back the way we came and was close to the start of the track. Still don’t know if it is the right place and ended up going to a paid campsite.
I think I nah have lost a Toyota car key here. Please comment if you find it!
Nice spot with waterfall, few people. Dirty toilets. Not super secure because locals come to drink on the bridge.
The campsite was closed, but some camped in front of the barrier, and there were no signs prohibiting this.
Nice spot before the bridge. Space dor about 6 vans/cars
Lost a hiking boot here - if you find anything please reach out to sydstr on Instagram x
Wow! What a beautiful and quiet place. Everybody parked before the bridge which seems to be absolutely fine. Approx. place for about 6 vans, got very busy in the evening.
Wir sind zwei Nächte dort geblieben, war ein schöner Campingspot am Fluss. Es gibt eine Toilette, aber kein fließend Wasser.
