It's quite an adventure to get there, but it's definitely worth it. It's perhaps a good thing there's no path leading there. This way, this almost mystical place doesn't get overrun.

Be sure to make a detour here. A truly mystical place with mosses, ferns, lichens and a small waterfall.

The Schiler Cave is an absolute highlight. It can be reached by a narrow path, a little risky, and not that easy.

Unfortunately, there is no way to this highlight, and unfortunately rubbish also collects in the Mühlbach and unfortunately the waterfall is almost filled with trees. But it's still worth making your way through, I don't know of such a channel anywhere else in the area ...

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