This waterfall above Steinenbrügli is a wonderfully beautiful place. I went there a lot as a child because I lived nearby. The things I experienced there... There's also a small nature reserve with a canal running parallel to the Frenke (that's the name of the stream). There's so much to discover. Below the waterfall, about 50 meters away, there are gravel banks when the water level is low, which invite you to linger and enjoy the peace and quiet...🔆

It's growing back, which provides more shade, so we love it...

The view is dominated on the right by the Farnsberg hill, with the bright, light-colored ruins of Farnsburg Castle perched on its upper slope, visible from afar. A visit to the ruins is highly recommended. From up here, the view sweeps down to the village of Hemmiken and further into the Jura Mountains.

Currently, it's not as overgrown; many bushes and trees along the trail have been removed. There's a much better overview.
