Lingjiao Waterfall

What to expect?

• Large waterfall (+10 meter high).

• There is a pool where you can swim.
• The water is deep enough so you can jump from the waterfall! However be careful and always check if there is no rock or wood that has fallen and is underneath the waterfall before attempting to jump from it!

To jump, go back up the stairs you came from and a few meters before the end of the stairs you will see a, sometimes closed, fence on your left. This is the way to get on top of the waterfall.

All in all is is a nice waterfall to hang out at. We could easily spend the day, jumping and swimming in the pool, having a barbecue and some beers.

• Cross the street and take the smaller parallel street in front of you.
• At the end of the street, right after the bridge take the path to the right (its seems like you are entering a property but you are not 🙂
• Go to the left of the building and you will see the train station. Continue forward for a few meters walking next to the train tracks
