Neidlingen Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The ascent to the waterfall alone is worth it: very steep over a lot of roots. The steps up were their own waterfall in late December - the bridge over the creek was very slippery as it was frozen. Walking down this path is not easy, especially when it is wet. But there is an alternative way.

A really great valley. But you should be sure-footed, especially when the paths are muddy.

Young Fils

Highlight (Segment) • River

Very nicely guided footpath along the young Fils, which initially meanders rather lazily through a relatively wide valley before flowing down as a rushing stream over stone cascades to the paper mill.
Very worth seeing - but also very busy. In bad weather, the path is very muddy in parts.

It doesn't get any better than HAm described - the entire 2 km long section is pure adventure, but please be careful - it's not entirely safe either, as it's partly steep on greasy ground and - even worse - steep goes down.

It's hard to believe how small the Fils is here when you see it in Giengen.

There is no longer a bridge here. On hot days you can enjoy cooling off here. The path down is not easy to walk. You definitely have to be sure-footed and wear good shoes.

Seven Bridges Way: Hidden path, not easy to walk on, especially after rain, which is no longer maintained and is probably only maintained as a beaten path by individual hikers. Partly very muddy; the bridges, with the exception of one footbridge, are virtually non-existent or unusable. You have to shimmy down and back up the steep slopes at the ditches yourself. In some places the path can hardly be seen anymore, parts have slipped away. Absolutely sure-footedness required, if you like it a bit adventurous, you will like it 😁 Hiking sticks are helpful. If you can enjoy that, you can expect a wonderful expedition through a small jungle, at the end with crossing a ford, in which at least the shoes can be cleaned a bit again 😃😉
