The walk along the waterfall is stunning - and it's right at our doorstep! Walk across the street to Villa Solitude, and to the left of the building is the entrance to the waterfall path.
On the way down, you'll find a yoga deck where you can do your yoga, and - if you look hard enough - a secret hotspring (shhh we didn't tell you ;))
