Great path along the stream. The bird educational trail is also nice. Several information boards briefly introduce local animals such as the nuthatch, bullfinch, or woodpecker.

The stream winds its way down into the valley over waterfalls of varying heights. This is a beautiful gorge with mossy rocks and ferns, but it's also clearly shaped by the force of the water and not always easy to navigate. Be sure to have surefootedness and wear proper footwear.

A beautiful section on the trail to Rabenkopf. It looks wild, but is manageable for those with surefootedness.

It's also great to walk in winter. Our recommendation: poles and/or spikes and walk the circuit anti-clockwise. Then it's easier to go uphill at the "critical" points!

Very beautiful stream with various waterfalls. Absolutely worth seeing. The path was badly damaged at the time of our visit in June 2024. Only suitable for sure-footed and agile people.
