Monbachtal Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Small waterfall, but at least one of the largest in this section of Monbachtal. The water is crystal clear. Great place for a break.

At this point in the upper Monbach valley, something like a small lake was created by damming the Monbach.

June 24, 2026,Wunderschöne Wanderung Bad Liebenzell - Monbachtal/Schlucht und an der Nagold zurück ☀️🌸🍀💦🫶🙋🏼‍♀️🐾

Hello dear ones,

Today I had to take a day off due to the heat and cancel all my students. It's too strenuous in the apartment in the afternoon if more than just myself is in the music room....we have 31 degrees with a fan, everything is darkened, but a top-floor apartment in an old house has its disadvantages in …

A wonderful round trip from Bad Liebenzell train station. First along the Nagold, then turn right, a short way along the road, which turns into a wider forest path (with exercise equipment🏋‍♀️).

On this section you should also look back, because you have a beautiful view of the town with the Nagold river. We then followed a narrow path and …

Moss-covered stones, fallen tree trunks, and vegetation that could almost be called the "Swabian primeval forest" characterize the mystical Monbachtal.

The circular tour starts at the train station in Bad Liebenzell; alternatively, the request stop Monbach-Neuhausen can also be chosen as the start and end point of the tour.

Due to the time of year and the weather (it started to rain towards the end of the hike) I was alone in the gorge and was able to take lots of pictures with plenty of greenery 😊. The path along the …

This morning, @Chris🏝️ came to visit me in the Black Forest to hike through the Monbach Gorge with me. We met in Bad Liebenzell and first took a leisurely walk along the Nagold River until we reached the entrance to the gorge. There we fortified ourselves with ice cream and a Radler beer. The path along the Monbach stream climbs …
