Düden Waterfall guide EN

Accessibility

One source, no site visit, and we say so. Better a marked uncertainty than a confident guess that strands someone.

Partly, and we have not verified it ourselves.

The park paths are reported as accessible, the cave path is not. This rests on a single published source and no site visit, so treat it as a starting point rather than a promise.

Prams and small children

The park paths take a pram. The cave path does not, and it is the part children want to do. Expect to carry, and expect the steps to be wet because the whole point of that path is that water is falling past it.

Knees, hips, heat

The upper falls are a walk on the level once you are inside. The cave section is short but the steps are uneven and slippery. In July and August the walk in has little shade, which is a bigger obstacle for many people than the steps are.

What would improve this page. A photograph of the cave steps with something for scale, and confirmation from the site management about accessible routes and facilities. If you have been recently, tell us what you found and we will publish it with your date on it.

Why we published an incomplete page

Most guides skip this question entirely. Skipping it means someone in a wheelchair travels across the city and finds out at the gate. An honest partial answer, clearly marked as partial, is more useful than silence and much more useful than a confident guess.
