The Maden stream and its waterfall make a good choice for anyone fond of the outdoors: a place to walk in green country with the sound of the water, and to lay out a meal in the open.
There are picnic grounds in the area, along with trout farms and fish restaurants. The picnic grounds charge for entry and are run privately.
The place can be visited in any season, and in summer especially it takes on the air of a festival.
The waterfall is a kilometre's walk along the stream bed, with places where you have to cross the water, so suitable clothing is worth choosing. The road to the stream is asphalt and open in any season.
