Monbachtal

The valley is awesome, beautiful and long. However, you should wear really good shoes, because you often have to cross the stream at unsecured places. Especially in damp weather, the stones in the stream are slippery!

beautiful popular recreational area, very populated towards the road. It is quieter in the upper part of the valley.

Perfect for hiking with children. No boring walk but not too demanding. There is a lot to climb for the children without danger of falling. Towels are not wrong.

The Monbach is on the main strand 9 km long stream on the eastern edge of the northern Black Forest, which flows between Bad Liebenzell and Unterreichenbach from the right into the middle Nagold. From the confluence of its source streams the Monbach flows through the nature reserve Monbach, Maisgraben and St. Leonhardquelle and the nature reserve of the same name. The protected areas essentially comprise the wildly romantic forest gorge, which the Monbach has been digging into the sandstone benches for around 350,000 years, and where it forms numerous small crashes. Purpose of protection is the preservation and protection of a unique geological source formation in Muschelkalk (St. Leonhardquelle) with their typical and species-rich animal and plant communities and the preservation and protection of the steep, rock-covered "Felsenmeer" slopes of the valley bottom and the water cascades of Buntsandsteinschlucht of Monbach their species-rich, the ravine and Hochstaudenwald überleitenden fern fir beech forest.

Through the ravine, which in some places remains natural, leads a path that gives children the feeling of adventure and thus makes the hike much more interesting. Sturdy shoes are required!

For children it is great to play on the water 👍🏻

On hot days a welcome cooling off

If you are looking for a refreshing, serene and secluded atmosphere on a hot summer sunday, you better go to an outdoor swimming pool ;-)
Here it jams already at some brook transitions.

Non-slip footwear is helpful when crossing the unpaved monbachs multiple times

Very beautiful winding paths

You must have seen that.

You have peace and a lot of fresh air. Fixed hiking boots, best to the ankle you have a better stop. Hiking poles are recommended. And enjoy climbing and let the kids play.

A really beautiful valley!

One of the most beautiful valleys in the region

In every season just great!

Always along the idyllic Monbach. Shady, entertaining and great adventure for young and old.

The path through the Monbach Gorge is particularly worthwhile in summer, as it is pleasantly cool in the valley and you can dip your feet into the water in some places. However, you will not be the only one

A great destination for children
