You do not need a guide for hiking because the trail is well marked. Bring plenty of water, protect yourself from the sun and prepare for the pleasure after hiking. Bring your bathing suits, towels and slippers.
Access to the waterfall from the direction of BaileHerkulane takes about 20 minutes. Drive along the lake and then turn onto the bridge on the left. The ascent is very steep. The trail leads through the forest and is mostly rocky or overgrown with tree roots.
For people without fitness, it is necessary to set aside about 2.5 hours in one direction. The return takes a bit shorter. I wore sticks and they were very useful to me. The access to the waterfall is slippery and it is safer to watch it from a distance of about 50 meters. The landscape is breathtaking, it will simply captivate you with its beauty.
On the way back, stop at the Seven Springs on the right side of the road. There are two small pools with hot thermal water. Staying 2-3 times for about 10 minutes and the levity of the thermal water will eliminate possible muscle inflammation and allow you to enjoy the charms of Romania.
