September 23, 2021,Gertelbach Wasserfälle

Long planned, finally implemented. Wonderful hike starting at the Wiedenbach car park. Along the stream through the waterfalls to the Wiedenfelsen with a breathtaking view. Way back over the Falkenfelsen and over the postman path back to the starting point. Although the parking lot was well occupied, we only encountered a few hikers, which was very pleasant.
A very nice …

Wiedenbach up, Gertelbach further, along the waterfall, up on the Wiedenfelsen to watch. Then along the paradise path to the Falkenfelsen, there with the child across to the Hertahütte. Made a break and continued downhill to the Brockenfelsen. The tour was very cool. And you're amazed, the child with his 4.5 years was enthusiastic...

Today we finally went out again after the bad weather of the last few days 😃
I chose the Gertelbach waterfalls with the hope that a lot of water will flow through all the rain of the last few days and I wasn't disappointed ☺️👌 After the beautiful waterfall, we continued over the Falkenfelsen to the Hertahütte. Unfortunately, I wasn't …

November 6, 2022,🍁 Pfade, Felsen und die Gertelbachwasserfälle

Today we went on a short tour to the Gertelbach waterfalls. I had planned the route with a maximum of paths and it was absolutely perfect - they were wonderfully narrow, winding and autumnal - and sometimes not without, because it had a slightly alpine character in parts.

Modified Gertelbach tour via Falkenfelsen, Herta-Hütte and detour to the Brockenfelsen.

The "original" Gertelbach circular route over the Kohlbergwiese can be found here: bit.ly/3UmKtLp. Definitely plan a trip to the Herta hut.

The best short tour in the Black Forest so far. And it still leaves room for more detours into the rocks. Top. 👍👍

February 7, 2022,Runde über Gertelbacher Wasserfälle und Falkenfelsen

The Gertelsbach waterfalls are on my schedule at least once a year. This time I extended the route and went over Falkenfelsen.
I didn't know the Falkenfelsen and the Hertahütte and I have to say I was very impressed by the density of sights. Lots of rocks, waterfalls, winding paths and lots of great views... what more could you ask …

December 21, 2024,Gertelbachsteig

Always an exciting round along the wild Gertelbach, which rushes down the valley over moss-covered rocks and which you cross over countless bridges. At the Wiedenfelsen you have a wonderful view of the Bühlertal and the Rhine plain. The rocky path continues steeply downhill to the imposing Falkenfelsen and the Hertahütte, where you have another beautiful view. Finally, you go …
