A small, beautiful waterfall on the Marbach stream! There's even a bench to relax on.

Here the Lauter comes over a small waterfall and forms a beautiful pool about 2-3 meters high with a vertical bank. A great place that you wouldn't expect.

At the time after the rain it was very difficult to get directly to the water.

a narrow, beautiful footbridge leads over the stream. Not for the fearful but wide enough to actually be able to cross easily. The hike is worth it for the unusual footbridge and the beautiful little waterfall alone. The next time I would run the rod the other way around so that the highlights come at the end and not at the beginning;)

Nice tour for those who are looking for a long walk in beautiful nature. The varied path leads past beautiful meadows and paddocks and dives into the forest to follow the Aich on winding paths through the forest. The paths are lined with unbelievable wild garlic fields, their scent and the rustling brook accompanies the hiker on the entire tour.
