The waterfalls were quite small, as there was very little water in the Schlossbächle stream at the time. I climbed on the left side, against the flow. The trail is manageable despite the numerous steps. The steel gratings for dogs can be a bit uncomfortable for their paws.

There's beautiful nature here, with stairs, roots, and waterfalls. It's a truly beautiful area if you like stairs. If you don't like all that, just take the cable car up. But then you'll miss the nature, the waterfalls, and, oh yes, the stairs.
