The hike through the gorge can quickly become very muddy, otherwise it's a very nice location, but there's also a lot going on!

From the viaduct you can already see the waterfalls. There is also a path that goes right past it.

There are two grottos here: an upper and a lower Schiller grotto. This mostly carries water, the nearby Obere Schillergrotte often falls dry.

Impressive Felstobel with a small waterfall in the middle. The hollow stone is very round and on the floor in the middle there is a large cuboid that the waterfall hits.
