If you don't mind climbing over a few fallen branches, you can walk along the shore the whole time.

Near the Sirzenicher waterfall you will find this stream crossing with a natural bench (a tree trunk lying across it), where you can simply dangle your feet in the cool water in the current heat, should the watering hole directly at the waterfall be occupied again 💦😊

A beautiful side path along the stream. Unfortunately a little difficult in some places due to fallen trees. But also very beautiful due to the rocks along the stream.
