A beautiful hike through a truly special valley. From Dörsbach, the trail ascends in numerous steps through the gorge, past many "waterfalls" over which the Wäschbach stream carves its way through the steep valley. Not a hike for beginners!

This popular destination can be reached via a hiking trail. Coming from Nassau, hike through the Mühlbach Valley past the fish ponds to the first newly constructed footbridge. Continue past the path toward Singhofen. The Teufesdell Waterfall is fed by the local "Kernbach," a tributary of the Mühlbach. The Kernbach plunges four meters into the depths here.

Steep path over rocks and steps along a small stream with many interesting little waterfalls, gullies and pools in the slate - hence the name 19 holes. Very nice!! Sure-footedness required.
