Our village does not straddle the river but sits high above on one side. It is a very steep walk down a path and over a solid steel bridge just to see the river at this point, but we have done it several times. It is a great sight, swelling out across the valley floor with white sandy and gravel "beaches" but out of reach to the general walkers like us. However the views back towards Ferden also make the steep walk worthwhile.
