Tips from the Community
The water of the Brandbach stream plunges down here through a narrow gorge called Gaishölle. Over the centuries, the strong water flow has washed away the huge rocks and boulders lying on the valley floor, creating a wildly romantic forest gorge with many waterfalls. In the past, it was not possible to walk through the valley normally. If you wanted to cross the gorge, you had to "geißen", meaning to move like a chamois (goat) climbing. The "Hölle" (hell) is an old name for a narrow, wild area with many rocks and stones. In 1880, a hiking trail was first laid out through the wildly romantic Gaishölle. The maintenance and care of this trail then led to the founding of a special "beautification association" in 1882, today's "Heimat- und Verkehrsvereines Sasbachwalden". Some interesting data: Trail length: approx. 800 m Steps: 225 Bridges: 13 Elevation difference: 154 m Access Murbergstraße: 338 m above sea level

The Brandbach stream plunges down a narrow gorge here, known as the Gaishölle (Goat's Hell). Over the centuries, the steep gradient of the water has eroded the enormous boulders and glacial erratics lying on the valley floor, creating a wild and romantic wooded gorge with numerous waterfalls. In earlier times, it was impossible to walk through the valley normally. To traverse the gorge, one had to "geißen," meaning to move along by climbing like a goat. "Hölle" (Hell) is an old-fashioned name for a narrow, wild area with many rocks and stones. In 1880, a hiking trail was first established through the wild and romantic Gaishölle. The maintenance and upkeep of this trail led to the founding of a special beautification society in 1882, the present-day "Heimat- und Verkehrsverein Sasbachwalden" (Sasbachwalden Local History and Tourism Association). The term "Geiß" is an old name for a narrow, wild area with many rocks and stones. Some interesting facts: Path length: approx. 800 m Steps: 225 Bridges: 13 Elevation gain: 154 m Access via Murbergstraße: 338 m above sea level

The path to the waterfalls is very beautiful and varied. You repeatedly cross the waterfall on small wooden bridges.

The raised bog is a stunning natural spectacle with its own unique flora and fauna. A must-see is the hike up here from Lake Mummelsee and the wooden walkways. But you need time; you have to take it all in.
