Beautiful scenery… the waterfall in the middle of the forest

There are lots of small slate stones on the ground here. With children it's fun to try to hit the trees on the slope or the stream. A great area. The slope is steep and caution is advised, especially with children.

Nice place to take a break. At least if umpteen others have not "besieged" the place.

Laubachsmühle is a great place to take a break. From there you can continue along the Wied or start the ascent to Melsbach.
