Hiking

The waterfall became a deadly flood in 1778, when the masses of water from the Kalkach swept away a house and killed 7 people and the cattle. The story of the "Pentecost Flood" is told at station 14 of the circular hiking trail. sagenhaftes-graefenberg.de

From Wikipedia: The Kalkach is the right source stream of the Aubach in Franconian Switzerland. It rises in the Kalkbrunnen on the northern edge of Gräfenberg.
