HI Trou de Fer Gorgein translation Iron hole, you may have read before. Most of the articles are about the adrenaline rush to the bottom of a narrow canyon. Bras de Caverne Waterfall, where the waters of the River Caverne flow, but the author does not mention it again. Now we will discuss it mainly.

In total, there is a waterfall system that drains water to the bottom Iron hole more than half a kilometer, some sources say as far as 725 meters. This ranks them third in all of Africa. The last waterfall, which is less than 300 meters long, looks the best. This is the most common goal of photographers.

It is not surprising that its long water flow cuts through the green belt of surrounding hilly vegetation and the ever-present misty mist is an invaluable composition. It looks like a fairy tale or a scene from a fantasy movie, so slowly wait for the elf to tap you on the shoulder. Just beauty, you have to experience it!

In total there are six waterfalls that fall from the edge of the rocks. The so-called Pračka is the cause of the foggy fog. There is a lot of humid air and a lot of steam around, like in a laundry room. Hence the name. The falls are a little more difficult to photograph because of the vapor barrier, but there is still plenty to capture nearby. And every time is a little different. Nature is constantly reshaping this place.

For example, the narrow three-kilometer canyon leading to the main part of the “hole” is sometimes filled with rocks. And the adrenaline route leading down has been flooded several times with water. If someone found themselves at the bottom at that moment, they would have no chance of getting back up and would remain trapped in the canyon flooded with water.

Nevertheless, adventurers from all over the world are attracted to this unusual activity, so we often see helmet enthusiasts sliding down the 16 meter long slide, abseiling and climbing through narrow corridors. A trio of Frenchmen did it for the first time in September 1989, and in 2010 a group of Czechs and Slovaks also celebrated their success here.

Mauritius is not far from here, and the Seychelles are not far either. Reunion it belongs to France, so people fly here mainly from Paris. The journey takes approximately 11 hours.
