February 12, 2023,Dortebachtal mit Wasserfall

Not quite easy, but definitely incredibly beautiful, wildly romantic and worth seeing: the Dortebachtal near Klotten. Right at the beginning it goes uphill to a great vantage point. The waterfall is super beautiful, the whole way offers variety and in the Dortebachtal itself it looks a bit like a jungle. 😌 After almost 3 hours we are back at the …

This hike is one of the most beautiful that I have done so far. The path leads through the Dortebachtal nature reserve, which offers the ideal habitat for rare animals and plants. The relaxing sound of the stream and the fresh stream air accompany you as you climb to the impressive waterfall. Attention⚠️: There is an alpine climbing area just …

April 12, 2025,Dortebachtal Wasserfall

Beautiful weather again 🌞, so we set off for the Dortebach Valley to the waterfall. A path leads us along the stream over bridges to the waterfall. Then we continued uphill and ever higher to the top, but in places the paths were quite adventurous; the already narrow paths had collapsed in a few places, and there were no safety …

Nice tour to get away from the hustle and bustle in the places. Lots of shade and cooling for the four-legged friend. Partly a bit steep.

It is best to go to the waterfall first, then you have completed the steepest part. The route should not be walked when it is raining as it is steep and slippery.

The Dortebach Valley...
Today we had everything, from narrow paths to wide trails, from slippery sections to heavy rain with thunderstorms. Luckily, after about 2 km, there was a hut where we stood for a good 45 minutes. During that time, a downpour came right above us. But by then, we were already wet to the bone.

August 16, 2022,Dortebachtal – Wasserfall Dortebachtal Rondje vanuit Klotten

Nice walk, good to do with the dog. Parking in Klotten near Station.
At the entrance of the nature reserve there is an information board with leaflets. There it is indicated that you first go to the waterfall. We did it the other way around and saved the best for the end.
I do not recommend the walk during or …

October 2, 2023,Durch das Dortebachtal mit kleinem Wasserfall

The approximately five kilometer long cultural trail leads from the Moselle valley through the Dortebachtal nature reserve, a side valley near Klotten. You hike over serpentines to the mountain plateau.
We have only slightly modified the Dortebachtal circular route, which is marked by the lizards on wood, with a few views of the Moselle. So we had a nice little …
