Geroldsauer Waterfall

The Grobbach stream meanders picturesquely. And Gerold-Sau is a beautiful hike up to Bütthof.

Really nice area !!

Warning: if you are looking for solitude, you are wrong here.

Insanely crowded in midsummer. Although we started at 11 a.m. and only walked a tiny 4km lap, the tour was completely overcrowded and increasingly full.

Bridge over the Grobbach

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge leads directly over the Grobbach and offers a completely different view of the stream - very idyllic.

January 21, 2024,Geroldsauer Wasserfall – Blick auf Geroldsau Runde von Lichtental
This morning the two of us (together with a dear friend) started a lovely hike.

The start was at the free hiking car park at Geroldsauer Str..
It went almost straight out onto the wintry forest paths. After 5 km we reached the Geroldsau waterfalls. I was there for the first time. The route took us for kilometers along the …

Nice tour, but unfortunately the rhododendrons haven't bloomed yet. It'll probably take another 2-3 weeks.

Today is day 2 on the Baden-Baden Panorama Trail. I had planned this tour as a circular route, so we ended up at the Geroldsauer Mühle (Geroldsauer Mill).
After a really good and healthy breakfast... if you skip the croissants... we started at the Geroldsauer Mühle hiking car park, a large restaurant with an adjoining shop, bakery, beer garden, hotel, …

Here I'd like to introduce you to a special route to the Geroldsau Waterfalls...

Starting from the "Malschbach" hiking car park, directly on the B 500 outside of Geroldsau, this time we're NOT taking the shortest route to the waterfalls and back again...

Since the tour was a bit too short for me 😉😉😉 I added the waterfall because I hadn't been there in ages 😏😏😏 and it's always worth it 😉😉😉 It's a shame there's no honey 🐝🐝🐝 at this time of year 🫣🫣🫣 and it's most beautiful when the rhododendrons 🌺🌺🌺 are in bloom. A gentle up-and-down hike without much elevation …

Start below 🅿️the Geroldsauer Mühle.... the hike mainly runs on wide paths, as they were deserted and so colorfully leafy that didn't bother us. At the stream bed (Grobbach), the paths become narrow, these small waterfalls and moss-covered stones are beautiful in the incident sunlight. Also nice, the view of the large waterfall. Only there was a little more activity. …

"On a total of 44 kilometers in length, from the center of Baden-Baden to the Geroldsau valley with its narrow gorges and rushing streams, the hiker experiences a colorful kaleidoscope of nature. Divided into four stages between five and eleven kilometers, you can combine the individual routes depending on your condition and mood or walk independently of each other. A …

Actually, one, I wanted to go to the Vulkaneifel for a long weekend to go camping and hiking. Terrible weather.

Actually, two, I should finally get my climbing shoes on and my fingers stretched again. Well, terrible weather.

Since spontaneous ideas are always a real blast, the unplanned Plan C was the perfect consolation prize today. A hiking offer came …
