Tips for Tourists

Safety First: While exploring, avoid descending into the stream bed due to the risk of sudden water level increases from the Ultental’s reservoirs.
Best Time to Visit: Summer offers a cool respite from the heat, while autumn and winter provide unique seasonal experiences like ice skating.
Plan Your Route: The path ends at a gate due to rockfall danger, so plan to return the same way. The total walk takes about 20-30 minutes each way.
