The gorge will gradually narrow until a branch appears, where there is a rock tunnel and a cave. The gorge is divided into two branches.

The left arm of the gorge
The left arm of the gorge is sometimes only 50 cm wide and to overcome it it is necessary to manage several rock steps. Ladders and steps are used to overcome them. However, they are missing in some places because they were washed away by a large amount of water.
End of the road
After about 1 km, it is necessary to climb from the gorge up a steep hill back to the hiking trail and return to the village of Zderaz. Almost the entire passage of the gorge leads in the riverbed of the Pivnický brook.
