The path leads at the most beautiful point through the stream bed, sometimes with wire ropes to hold on to. A bit challenging, but really worth it! Can also be done with dogs.

Baybachklamm Waterfall

Pretty waterfall that is fed by one of the Ehrbach tributaries. In the immediate vicinity is a bank that invites you to linger. One of the highlights in the gorge and a great place for a break.

This narrow waterfall can be seen from the main path below. You can either "climb up" directly or look for the barely visible path a few meters further, which leads through the side valley and passes the hidden Rauschenburg ruins below (no signposts to the castle).
