Introduction

Several, moderately incised slab waterfalls. Not very high interest.

Approach

Walk over the dam, and take the first hiking trail up to the Ofental until it is flat again. There you can shortcut through the fields to get to the canyon.

Descent

Continuous, not very deep and not really long. Most rappels are about at a 45 degrees angle, but waterflow is still considerable.

Exit

At the hiking path midway of the falls, get out again. The waterfalls going down to the lake are not equiped.
