The river Goritsa is a water supply for the village, and therefore the direct access to the waterfall is forbidden. It is observed from a terrace nearby. In 2019, an eco-trail was built next to the terrace, starting from the area with the tepavitsi. Currently, two traditional tepavitsi are operating seasonally, called in the area valyavitsi. They are installations for a traditional craft for places with abundant running water, especially in the mountains.
