Hike with good friends. The waterfalls had a lot of water and the atmosphere with fog, sun and the sound of the water was just fantastic. Always nice, this hike.

Today I hiked a tour from @PyrenäenTomTom.

I walked up the waterfalls at a leisurely pace. Others were in a hurry, including a few joggers. 😅
At one point you had to jump across the stream.

At the height of the Wiedenfelsen there were still small patches of snow to admire.

The Gertelbach waterfalls are an absolute highlight. Almost 3 kilometers uphill from one water level to the next, over small bridges and stones from one highlight to the next, stopping off at the Kohlbergwiese to eat tarte flambée. Except for about 2 kilometers, all natural paths. Simply great💯😍

Unfortunately, the recorded time is not correct, including pictures and breaks you have to reckon with at least 4 to 5 hours.
Hiking poles and high hiking poles are recommended. The🐻

The Gertelbach circular trail is always full of events. The waterfalls are particularly beautiful at the moment due to the large amount of water that the Gertelbach carries. The official route does not go directly past the Falkenfelsen, but you should definitely make the detour past the rock formation to the Hertahütte, and not just because of the view.

Beautiful tour with varied terrain, but a challenging route... You should be a bit experienced. I really enjoyed the stop at the Waldgasthaus Kohlbergwiese, the food was delicious and the prices were moderate... I would do it again any time 🥰
