    The Forellensprung is a waterfall near Langenberg (Welzheim). Here the Burgsteigklingenbach falls five meters over a hard limestone bank of the lower Stubensandstein.

    The waterfall was created by flow-related erosion. When the Upper Rhine Graben collapsed in the geological epoch of the Tertiary, the now greatly deepened river position of the Rhine formed a much stronger erosion base for the waters flowing into the Rhine. The consequences were a much greater erosion of the streams and rivers, which explains the valleys, gorges and blades that are typical today. This is how the many geological natural monuments in the Welzheimer Forest came about. Geologically similar to the Forellensprung are the waterfalls at the Laufenmühle, cascading over the same hard sandstone base. Given the height, it is unlikely that trout should have climbed the waterfall.

      Here the Burgsteigklingenbach falls down over a limestone sandbank, which is worth seeing. Why this highlight is called Forellensprung does not seem to have been handed down. A trout will not be able to overcome this stage.
