Entrance to the 19 Holes Waterfalls (Nassau, Taunus)

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful hike through a truly special valley. From Dörsbach, the trail ascends in numerous steps through the gorge, past many "waterfalls" over which the Wäschbach stream carves its way through the steep valley. Not a hike for beginners!

19 Holes Gorge

Beautiful, even if not long! Nevertheless, the walk down this wonderful gorge back to the Dörsbach was worth it!

Arnstein Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Nice climb, unfortunately on asphalt. From there you can either go through the Dörsbachtal to Singhofen or just get there. The monastery is also worth a short stay. Especially in summer it is worth visiting the cool walls.

September 6, 2023,Tour 52 - Nachgewandert Mr.Pfade-Abenteuertour Jammertal

A beautiful tour, sweaty at times, but truly worthwhile!

Exactly what I was looking for, and cooling off at the small waterfalls was so good in these temperatures.

...like 99% of all of Mr. Pfade's tour tips, I highly recommend it, and this tour won't be the last time I do it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

July 20, 2024,Mr.Pfade - Abenteuertour Jammertal

Another really cool tour 👍🥾. Just wonderful from the start. Once again extremely varied and entertaining. Alpine feeling, ridge-like passages, great views again and again.
The second half had a bit more of the "jungle".
The vegetation here is a bit wilder and you need to be in good physical shape. Here and there you have to overcome fallen trees …

The tour was really nice, but there were some difficult passages that had to be mastered.
Partly a bit pathless and some fallen trees blocking the path.
The altitude information is also not entirely correct, it was around 600.

Another tour for the adventurous, with lots of ascents and descents on narrow paths, especially the first half to Neubäckersmühle and the last third. Quite a few of them are more suited to hoofed animals like chamois. 😆
But today I had a hiking stick with me, and that was a good thing.
Right at the beginning, it was a …

A shortened version of a great hike in the Jammertal valley. Especially the narrow, almost barely visible ascents and descents in the first half.
Hiking boots with tread and surefootedness are a plus, as my companion, my daughter, can confirm, as she had to sit down several times due to gravity. 😛

August 19, 2023,Abenteuertour Jammertal Lahn

Today at 30 degrees and fairly humid a hike on the Lahn. Route Idea is from Mr. Paths, we took a shortcut in the last third and continued along the stream and then up to the Arnstein monastery. Considering the temperatures, that was a good decision. The route is also demanding and there is no bridge when crossing the stream, …

July 9, 2022,Jammertal, 19-Löcher-Klamm und Kloster Arnstein auf einer Runde von Obernhof (Lahn)

After the Lahn-Wein-Stieg I felt like doing another tour, so over the other side of the Lahn and past the Klostermühle into the Jammertal. First it goes comfortably through fantastically green jungle always close to the Dörsbach. Some paths overgrown, but the lush green scenery interspersed with rocks is exhilarating. After about half of the route you turn into the …

June 9, 2025,Von der Klostermühle in Obernhof ins Jammertal und zum 19 Loch Wasserfall bei Attenhausen

Wow, a really great tour, with lots of narrow paths, the Dörresbach stream, views, the waterfalls of the 19-hole gorge (stupid name 😂 - great gorge). Unfortunately, I can't remember who I saved it from last year? Does anyone feel inspired?
