I didn't get particularly close to the waterfall and looked at it from the road. It's an eye-catcher. There is no comfortable path or even a bench.

The forest path from Gnadenthal to Wallrabenstein and Wörsdorf along the Wörsbach is one of the most beautiful hiking and cycling trails in the Taunus. Ideally, you can do it as a circular tour from Niederbrechen via Hünfelden-Dauborn to Idstein and via Bad Camberg back to Niederbrechen along the Emsbach. Once a year, an official cycling tour takes place through these two-stream valleys.
