Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

You can't just stand and marvel here. Mineral springs full of calcium carbonate bubble up from the ground and cascade over travertine terraces. The streambed is covered with a hard, chalky-white layer that feels like sandpaper. Visitors therefore climb directly up the waterfalls, step by step, using the fixed rope as needed. Reviewers report that even children and older visitors manage this without any problems. The black areas are the slippery ones – avoid them to be on the safe side.

To get there, you have to descend a staircase (about ten minutes to the base of the mountain) and then climb back up at your own pace. Allow at least two hours. Entry is free, the site is very well maintained, and the nearby Chet Si Springs offer further examples of the same unusual mineral coloration. The downside is its popularity. One reviewer complained that the crowds detracted from the seclusion, and the ascent via the terraces is very slow when it's busy. A weekday morning is therefore the best choice.
