Rear Hörschbach Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Very popular with children, but also for those who want to take beautiful pictures. Damming water and then when you open it again, a lot of water comes on the waterfall.

Path to the Hörschbach Waterfalls

Highlight • Trail

Here you can walk down to the back waterfall (Hörschbach). It is not far from here. You can hear voices from the children playing at the waterfall.

Hörschbach Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

In winter, when there is ice, you should have appropriate equipment and a minimum level of fitness and surefootedness, otherwise it can quickly become dangerous.

Lower Hörschbach Trail

Highlight • Trail

This path is well developed and wonderful to walk because you walk on gravel and find the shade tolerable in high heat. In my picture you can see a straight grown tree.

After the morning lap, lunch break and subsequent coffee drinking in Markwardt, spontaneously decided to do another lap at the Hörschbach waterfalls. Since the direct path along the creek was closed due to several damages, it was a 7 km long loop. I liked the front waterfall better, because the rear waterfall had significantly less water than the pictures show. …

After a long time back in the beautiful Hörschbach Gorge. Unfortunately, the path along the stream is only accessible for a short distance. Was a great way.
But the way over the upper Bachweg is also beautiful.
Children are rewarded with a dam on the creek at the turning point. Dam up water and then feed the waterfall with it …

From the Rottmannsberger sawmill over many rock and wooden steps down into the romantic and wild upper valley of the Hörschbach. After a short time to the Hinterer Hörschbach waterfall. The partially dammed water can be released through a lock and the waterfall pours a large amount of water over the rock. From here it is possible to continue either …

This gorge is really worth experiencing. The noises of the sometimes more, sometimes less babbling brook or brook everywhere. Splendid! The waterfalls alone are worth seeing.

Unfortunately, the lower gorge path is still closed. So, we went to Murrhardt to the recreational forest lake. The Hörschbach waterfall had little water. The hike was varied in sections, and you can enjoy the tranquility. At the forest lake, we noticed more prohibition signs than recommendations. Nevertheless, you can still spend a few hours there.
