From the beginning: If you arrive by car, you have a parking problem!
I took photos in the monastery garden and it was made clear to me in an unfriendly manner that visitors are not welcome here. Private property!
About the tour: We didn't bother with the detour around the monastery.
The dripping stone wasn't dripping, but it's worth seeing. …

The Klingelsbachgeabenschlucht is small but beautiful and worth seeing. During the later ascent, there were difficulties due to fallen trees that made the path impassable. An alternative route had to be chosen. The way back towards …

Our hike started at the car park and took us first to the lock. From there we continued into the forest, where we came across two parallel paths that ran about 10 meters apart. We chose the upper path, which turned out to be an adventure: numerous fallen trees lay on the path, so we had to climb or climb …
